TelcoDR Information

I’m Danielle Royston – you can call me, DR. I have 25 years of enterprise software experience – the last 10+ as a CEO specializing in turnarounds. Previously I was CEO of Optiva, where I pivoted the company to become a leader in cloud-native BSS/OSS on the public cloud. And now, I’ve found my calling: I’m on a mission to help the telecom industry move all of your applications to the public cloud and more fully embrace all the competitive advantages it has to offer. Telco execs, I believe you should move as much of your IT environment as you possibly can to the public cloud! And you should embrace 100% of the functionality the hyperscalers provide. Not build applications that are cloud-agnostic or hybrid, and certainly not deploy on private cloud (#fakecloud), but rather leverage technology that can save you 50% or more on your TCO. How else are you going to pay for your 5G network? And CSPs who embrace this transformation NOW will be the ones who come out on top. Period. I will help you sort through the noise, giving you my unfiltered take on what is really happening in the telecom industry when it comes to public cloud – sharing insights every CSP C-level needs to know. Listen to my new Telco in 20 podcast – give me 20 minutes, and we’ll cover the next 20 years in telco. Get the latest news, insights and best practices on how public cloud is transforming telecom – and enjoy a few laughs! New episodes with fascinating guests drop every two weeks. And sign up for my FREE Telco in 20 newsletter. Every two weeks, I curate content from the industry and share my insights in an email delivered to your inbox. You’ll find essays, frank conversation, practical tips for leaders, and links to articles that help you keep up with all the happenings in telco and public cloud. There’s more to come… stay tuned.
