At Encepta, I support our teams and our customers in a leadership and strategic capacity. As a founder, I have been fortunate to have worn many different hats during our organization’s growth journey from a start-up to an industry leader. Woven into our corporate history is the relentless pursuit of innovation and the development or application of technology to real world, outside plant infrastructure challenges for telecommunications and utilities. In many cases it is not what we do that separates us from other firms, but how we do it. I welcome opportunities to share my experiences and insights with partners, industry, conferences, and budding entrepreneurs. I am keen to learn from customers, organizations, academia, and individuals. If you are from industry and have a challenge, please approach me and I will explore if we can help or do my best to guide you toward an appropriate source for a solution.
