Where it's coming from
Get to know me
I've been in the SP industry for more than three decades – and still as passionate about it and hungry to make an impact as I was when I started all those years ago. Why? Because no other sector plays such a crucial role in the digital economy and in people's lives as the service provider industry.
From the start of the Internet boom in the 1990s to today's AI innovations, service providers' networks underpin everything we do. And, while leading Cisco's SP business, I've had the privilege of being at the forefront of it all.
Some examples of my contributions:
- forged close, long-standing relationships with the C-suite of the world's leading service providers.
- acted as their trusted strategic advisor, helping them meet the growing demands of the hyper-connected world and strengthening their competitiveness.
- used my entrepreneurial mindset to kick off and lead new ventures to generate new revenue streams and boost efficiencies in areas such as B2B managed services, infrastructure sharing, and passive optical networking.
Now I leverage my deep understanding of this sector to advise organizations across the Telecoms space: to help them create new growth strategies, pave the way for new business models, and build new partnerships to drive future industry innovation.
I'm always looking in the horizon to spot the next industry transitions, and there's nothing I'd enjoy more than working together with like-minded business and technology leaders to identify the right way forward to maximize the potential or tackle the challenges that those transitions might bring. I excel at bringing people of diverse background together and leveraging everyone's unique capabilities to achieve great things.
From M&As, AI and network transformation to smart and sustainable buildings, I look forward to partnering with service providers and businesses across the telco ecosystem to drive the next growth phase of this exciting industry.
