Our platform generates actionable insights and contextual intelligence to accelerate the development of cross-vertical smart services addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).With over 35 years of experience across telecommunications, IoT, AI, and digital platforms, I bring a perspective that bridges academia, industry, and public policy. Previously, I held senior leadership roles, including VP of R&D at Arbinet (NASDAQ: ARBX), Director of Marketing at Better Online Solutions (NASDAQ: BOSC; TASE: BOSC), and Business Development roles at Gallery Telecom Solutions.
