More
Driving strategic initiatives, accelerating product adoption, and enabling new business models in diverse markets. I bring over two decades of experience managing the full product lifecycle—from conceptualization and development to go-to-market execution and product retirement. Known for launching innovative, revenue-generating solutions, I’ve managed multi-million-dollar global accounts, delivering value through deep customer alignment, functional solutioning, and sharp commercial strategies. With a strong focus on cloud-native transformation and 5G evolution, I’ve been instrumental in shaping and scaling offerings like Mobile Core as a Service (Programmable Core)—supporting the industry shift from traditional on-premise deployments to agile, as-a-Service (aaS) models for both consumer and IoT applications. A strategic thinker with hands-on expertise in telecom technologies, I leverage technical depth, market insight, and cross-functional collaboration to drive growth, innovation, and customer success. Core Competencies: ✔ Product Management & Strategy ✔ 5G Core , Cloud-Native Platforms & IOT Management Platform ✔ Solution Architecture & Customer Engagement ✔ Go-To-Market Execution & New Product Introduction ✔ Pricing, Deal Structuring & Revenue Growth ✔ Cross-Functional Leadership & Global Program Management
