Libon is Orange Group's OTT communications service.In 2008, I was asked to form a skunk-works entity within the Orange Group to devise and implement a strategy that would take advantage of market changes brought about by the emergence we anticipated of OTT players.I built and lead a 100+ strong group to create an alternative communications approach and business model focussed on creating a world-leading user experience. In Nov 2012, we launched Libon 2.0 our second consumer service, bringing HD free calls, free messages and a voicemail service on steroids to iPhone users in 95 countries. Every month, we release improvements and have added Android versions since April 2013, and game-changing HTML5 releases since December of that year. In 2014, we patented and launched the worlds first truly open chat service. We patented and launched an OTT mechanism for receiving traditional calls over wifi.My team's solutions won awards, and millions of loyal users in many countries, both on Orange backed networks and in countries outside the traditional Orange footprint.

BBC Mobile was the most successful mobile destination in the UK. I was asked by the group’s Controller to help them work out how mobile / on-line / cloud / identity would likely pan out over the next 4 years and advise the team on how best to respond to the new opportunities we identified.

Eccosphere started as an ambitious project to create a potentially global MVNO based on a viral user experience, and thus undermine both traditional operators and MVNOs by innovating a model of low-capex and low customer acquisition costs.

In the meanwhile, built team of 25, including senior management team and Chinese development base.
