Summary
Regulatory and Public Policy enthusiast, Love the dynamics of the Public Policy game, excited by the impact it has on people and how my role can make a dent in this universe.
With over a decade experience in mobile networks, starting with Operations to Radio Planning to Radio Systems and from managing people to managing projects and vendors.... it's a long story!
My most daring moves was rocketing outside my comfort zone into the arena of Regulations and Public Policy... Exciting!
