As a telecommunications visionary with nearly three decades of experience, I've been at the forefront of mobile innovation and digital transformation. My career spans the evolution of wireless technology from its early days to today's interconnected IoT ecosystem.
My leadership philosophy centers on what I call the "Three P's": People, Purpose, and Passion. I believe that surrounding yourself with talented people, establishing a clear purpose, and maintaining passion for innovation are the cornerstones of business success.
At AT&T, I led initiatives that revolutionized the telecommunications industry, including negotiating the exclusive partnership with Apple to launch the first iPhone in 2007 and establishing AT&T's Internet of Things division. These ventures transformed not only AT&T but the entire mobile landscape, setting the foundation for today's smartphone-centric world.
As President and CEO of Synchronoss Technologies, I guided the company's evolution in cloud services and digital solutions for telecommunications providers, enhancing how carriers manage their subscribers' digital experiences.
Currently, as General Partner at Stormbreaker Ventures, I mentor and invest in startups at the intersection of technology and mobility, helping the next generation of innovators shape the future of connectivity.
I'm passionate about the potential of 5G, IoT, and AI to create smarter, more connected urban environments. I believe we're only at the beginning of a transformational era where technology will enhance how people live, work, and interact with their surroundings.
Throughout my career, I've maintained that success comes from hard work, competitiveness, self-reflection, and passion—principles I developed during my earlier years as a professional soccer player. I'm committed to fostering inclusive innovation that bridges the digital divide and creates technology that truly makes life better for everyone.
