It was with great pleasure that recently we had the chance to catch up with Arthur Panos Director of Roaming at the Bridge Alliance. In his interview Arthur told us about his story in Vodafone Group, retail trends in Asia, regulations in Australia and beyond and the great work of the Bridge Alliance in bringing MNOs together across Asia and Africa.

Bay is known as BetaBay because of his passion for testing new technologies and always trying to improve himself. Bay is a leader in the world of startups and has built his career by helping startup ideas come to life. Reading his career story from Apple to Brinc.io I thought the telecoms community who listen to our podcasts would like to hear his story.

In his interview Bay discusses his days in Apple and their Entrepreneurship Evangelism Channel, his roles in various start-up companies and how Brinc.io is helping evolve the amazing world of Internet of Things.

In 2008 Stephen Ornadel led innovative changes to the International standards for fraud prevention for MNOs, engaging MNOs globally and the whole vendor community to embrace stricter measures for fraud prevention which today have become ubitquitous globally. It was a great pleasure therefore to get the whole career story from Steve, from his first days as a mobile operator in TMobile, through his career in Telcordia and iconectiv to his current role today as Vice President of Business Development at Mobileum. Providing insights on Fraud prevention today, MNP, eSIM, the future of telecoms, and the advanced analytics of Mobileum, it’s always a great pleasure to hear his wisdom.

In this weeks well connected we're in Dubai with Tom Noel, MD of the International Division of JT Global.

Over the 13 years we have watched JT evolve, they have gone from being a small telecoms operator in the Channel Islands to being a truly international wholesale provider to all kinds of businesses globally.

So it was great pleasure that we got to know one of the people whom is part of that driving force in innovation at JT Global, Tom Noel. From IoT, to messaging and beyond its clear there’s no stopping JT Global.

With a key focus of the WAS meeting on Women in Tech we spoke to the wonderful TRavia Stewart from BICS about what she felt companies can do to encourage diversity in the workplace.

All Interviews which we think between them really capture the spirit of the WAS meeting.
