About Adrian Cunliffe

I am an accomplished CTO/CPO with twenty years experience in technology, covering WiFi, Cellular, ICT and IoT. I started my career from University by creating my own start-up business – an innovative WiFi aggregation business, which gave me extensive experience in all areas of business including operational, financial, commercial, legal and technical functions. The business was acquired after 5 years at which point I was approached by O2 to establish their new WiFi start-up and then to lead the technical and operations teams as CTO. I have demonstrated an ability to be both entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial with experience of working both independently and within a corporate environment. My leadership style is a collaborative one, with respect for others and encouragement to share ideas. I have a reputation for enthusiasm, innovation, fresh thinking and creativity. From the start of my career, I have been able to quickly gain credibility with contacts across industry and senior leaders. Specialties: Innovation, strategy, start-ups, entrepreneurial, intrapreneurial, building strong and sustainable relationships, CTO, CPO, telecoms, board advisor, non-exec director, WiFi, Wi-Fi, cellular, Mobile Broadband, IoT, Connected Homes

From our initial single rack, single data centre architecture, we have grown to have a private cloud across mulitple data centres utilising a multiple pop MPLS network. 90% of the systems are virtualised meaning we are now able to scale faster and offer enhanced resiliency for our venue partners. O2 Wifi was developed outside of the core business; after a three-year period O2 Wifi was integrated back into the business within the Networks team at O2, integrating services into the cellular core. In six years, O2 Wifi has grown from a founding team of 4 to over 100 professionals, working with many of the UK’s leading brands including McDonalds, Costa, Mitchells & Butler, Subway, House of Fraser, Hackett, Waitrose, Toni & Guy, Debenhams, Manchester City, The O2, RFU Twickenham, and many more.
