As the CEO and founder of Defy Mobile, I have been leading a mission-driven startup that provides affordable and accessible telecom services to millions of people in the USA. Since 2014, I have been involved in the ACP and Lifeline Program, first as a distributor and then as a provider under a different brand. I have successfully scaled and grown Defy Mobile to become one of the top ACP and Lifeline telecom providers in the country, thanks to my expertise in startup development and entrepreneurship development. I have also leveraged my skills in start-up ventures, innovation, and leadership to create a culture of excellence, collaboration, and social impact at Defy Mobile. My goal is to continue to expand our reach and influence, and to educate more people about the benefits of the ACP and Lifeline Program.
