• Drive adoption of agentic systems to autonomously orchestrate media workflows, telco operations, and customer journeys.

Talent Leadership & Engineering Culture

• Hire, mentor, and inspire high-performance engineering talent with deep TMT domain know-how.

• Foster a “fail-fast, build-fast” culture leveraging experimentation, hackathons, and rapid prototyping.

• Scale teams across geographies with engineering rigor and cultural cohesion.

• 20+ years of experience in technology or engineering leadership roles, with significant exposure to TMT sectors.

• Proven delivery experience across AI/ML, streaming architectures, cloud-native platforms, edge computing, or telco BSS/OSS systems.

• Deep understanding of agile engineering, full-stack systems, and AI integration.

• Strong client leadership experience—ideally in consulting, product engineering, or digital services firms.

• Experience in working with agentic systems, LLMOps, or AI-first platforms is a plus.

Nice to Have:

• Prior experience in a hyperscaler, media-tech product company, or telecom network analytics space.

• Exposure to digital twin models, network planning AI, ad tech systems, or content recommendation engines.
