ABOUT MANISH GUPTA

I am a global technology and cybersecurity leader with experience in building secure, resilient, and high-performance network platforms across enterprises, telecom, cloud, and mission-critical environments. I currently lead large, multicultural teams across Europe, defining technology vision, execution roadmaps, and security governance for 4G, 5G, IoT, cloud-native, AI models and SaaS architectures. My leadership journey spans senior roles at Ericsson, BT, and Cisco, where I have driven technology transformations, large scale projects, Operational excellence, business development, sales and delivered sustained business growth, and built high-impact organizations operating at global scale.Alongside enterprise leadership, I bring a strong startup mindset—combining agility, ownership, rapid execution, and customer-centric innovation. I have repeatedly built and scaled teams, simplified complex operating models, and introduced pragmatic execution frameworks that improve speed, accountability, and quality without compromising governance. I am known for stepping into ambiguous, high-pressure environments and creating clarity, momentum, and measurable outcomes.My C-level perspective is further strengthened by executive education at the University of Cambridge (CTO Programme, Strategy for CxO, and Digital Transformation), enabling me to balance long-term strategic vision with operational discipline, risk management with innovation, and growth with regulatory and security expectations. I work closely with Boards, CXOs, regulators, and senior stakeholders, translating strategy into execution while embedding a strong customer-first and security-by-design mindset across organizations.I am particularly passionate about Zero Trust architectures, cloud and data security, Devsecops, application security, mission-critical networks, security governance, regulatory compliance, and enterprise risk management, and I enjoy partnering with leaders who are building resilient, future-ready platforms at scale.
