With over 25 years of international experience in the telecom industry, I currently serve as a Chief Architect for Telecommunications at Red Hat, supporting customers and partners as they modernize networks and transition toward cloud-native architectures. Backed by a Master’s degree in Engineering with a focus on Innovation Management and certifications in product management and cloud technologies, I bring a balanced blend of technical depth and strategic perspective. With a background on access networks, mobile core, value-added services, real-time charging and policy, intelligent networks, and roaming experience helps me engage with both business and technical stakeholders across the telecom ecosystem. I work closely with operators, vendors, open source communities, and internal teams to translate industry needs into practical architectural guidance, advocate for open and scalable solutions, and support broader technology direction. I value collaboration, clear communication, and thoughtful leadership, and I aim to help the telecommunications industry move forward through open innovation and pragmatic adoption of emerging technologies.
