ABOUT BOB FROESCHNER

If you\'re looking for a leader who can bridge technical and business domains, drive innovation, and foster high-performing teams—let’s connect. Lifelong learner; recently completing new certifications in Generative AI, Systems Engineering Principles and Software Project Management. I am an engineering leader with a track record of delivering complex wireless solutions—faster, smarter, and with fewer resources. With several years experience in a variety of roles within wireless engineering, I blend deep technical expertise with strategic foresight and relentless execution. I\'ve led high-impact transformations across LTE, NR, CRAN, and software upgrade programs spanning sites—often under tight budgets and high expectations. I Lead, Inspire, and Execute. Whether managing a $150M annual budget or architecting scalable network modernization programs, I focus on building empowered teams that rise to any challenge. My leadership style centers on Trust, Accountability, and Continuous Improvement. I develop people as much as I deliver projects. I develop people into leaders. People know me as a Trusted Advisor, a Collaborative Partner, and a Thought Leader. Senior executives have relied on my input to steer strategic initiatives, while peers turn to me for my technical insights, clarity, and sound judgment. I’ve cultivated vendor partnerships to drive innovation and negotiated contracts that saved millions. I was also identified as a key contributor in a cost-saving initiative that earned me the prestigious TDS TOPS award for slashing Midband deployment costs by hundreds of millions. Former colleagues describe me as Tenacious, Resourceful, and deeply committed to results. I’m often the person asked to “do more with less”—and I consistently deliver. But more importantly, I enable my teams to deliver—by empowering, coaching, and building a culture where engineers thrive. From mentoring emerging talent to guiding major transformations, I bring energy, integrity, and a problem-solving mindset to every level of the organization. Whether advising on 5G strategy or architecting lifecycle frameworks, I’m always focused on value, efficiency, and long-term impact.
