Examples of completed consulting engagements are below:
Comcast:
• Wireless business, product, and technology strategy development for Comcast’s entrance to the wireless communications service provider market. Developed long term network and system architecture roadmap for Comcast’s wireless communications services platform
• Strategically evaluated new technologies and new products for efficacy against longer ranged business, architectural, and technological objectives
• Standards research and development and trade groups engagements. Engaged LoRa Alliance, CableLabs, Wi-Fi Alliance, Small Cell Forum, and WiMAX Forum representing Comcast’s interests
• Network and system architecture efforts that contributed to Comcast’s eventual XfinityWiFi platform
• Developed roaming and federation system architecture as it relates to partnering with other cable operators and wireless providers (MSOs and MNOs) to provide services – e.g., on matters of cross-technology inter-op, cross-service provider tunneling and inter-op, cross-provider billing, cross-provider and cross radio access technology service handoffs, resulted in the Hotspot 2.0 / Passpoint standard
• Conceived architecture options and corresponding roadmaps, presented architecture options and roadmaps to senior management (Senior VP and VP levels) and to leaders of different internal organizations, with analyses on benefits, costs, and trade-offs for different architecture options and roadmaps
• Worked with Comcast’s management to drive consensus and secure buy-ins from different internal organizations for technology and architecture roadmaps
• Designed, planned, and choreographed demonstrations of new technologies and new products with partnering suppliers. Presented such demonstrations to senior management and leaders from different internal organizations to help them understand how the new technologies or new products would fit into the company’s longer term strategic vision
