CPaaS Acceleration Alliance, Founding Partner
Speaker Bio
I help shape the next generation of communications — where AI, networks, and ecosystems converge to create intelligent engagement.
With decades of experience across telecom, cloud communications and infrastructure, I help industry leaders turn disruption into opportunity. From the early days of high performance computing to today’s CPaaS, APIs, CX and AI-driven networks, I’ve always been at the forefront of what’s next.
As Founder and CEO of The Next Cloud and Founding Partner of the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance, my work centers on turning vision into impact. I focus on helping organizations navigate transformation, align strategy and execution, and build ecosystems that deliver real results.
This approach has led to tangible outcomes across the global communications landscape:
• Built CPaaS Acceleration Alliance into a global alliance uniting over 100 companies driving innovation and intelligent engagement in telco and cloud comms.
• Created CAVE and the CPaaS Acceleration Summit (CASA) one of the industry’s most respected gatherings for leaders shaping the future of communications.
• Guided executive teams on strategies for AI, network APIs, and ecosystem growth.
• Designed early CPaaS and API programs that helped shift telcos toward a partner and developer mindset.
• Supported leadership teams in scaling, repositioning, and expanding internationally.
• Co-developed innovation and venture frameworks that accelerate collaboration and investment.
At the core of it all is one belief: the future of communications isn’t about technology — it’s about connecting intelligence, purpose, and people.
Let’s shape what comes next!
