CURRENT JOB |
You can continue to use the tabs above to dive deeper into the various sections of my résumé if you wish. This section deals with my current role in more detail.
Here is a link to the brief marketing-oriented bio for me on the Ovum website. (be warned - the picture is about seven years old so I don't look quite so young anymore...)
My current role is that of Practice Leader, Wireline, Wholesale and Regulation. This means I oversee three of Ovum's advisory services, focusing on the following areas:- Wireline Strategy - this is the team I ran from 2003 to 2004, and it focuses on service provider strategies for wireline carriers around the world. As such, it looks at the world from a step above Ovum's Consumer and Enterprise Practices and sees things from the perspective of the carriers' strategy directors. The focus is on profiling the world's most important carriers, and advising them on the strategies they need to deal with the changing marketplace.
- Wholesale - Ovum's research on the market for telecoms services sold between suppliers, for example from one operator to another, or from operators to MVNOs, systems integrators, ISPs and others, who in turn provide services to end users. This service grew out of Ovum's research around eight years ago on the bandwidth boom and bust, but has since diversified considerably to cover all forms of wholesale telecoms services, including a large emphasis on mobile wholesale.
- Regulation - this is the team I previously ran from 2001 to 2003. At the time I ran it, it focused primarily on the regulated interconnection between carriers, but it has also since broadened to include many other telecom regulatory topics, including spectrum regulation and IP interconnection.
My responsibilities in this role are mostly focused on people management, management of content production, topic and thought leadership, working with clients, and writing research on some of the key themes which fall under the remit of the practice. The team I manage is based in Ovum's London office, but I will continue to be based in the greater New York area.
This page focuses on my current role, but my time at Ovum has involved a varied set of topic areas including consumer services, enterprise services and telecom regulation, which are described in more detail under "Past Jobs".
