I lead global market development and strategy at ST Engineering iDirect, where I work with Tier-1 operators to weave satellite NTN overlays directly into their 5G core networks. Before this, I spent over four years at Kratos Defense building cloud-native ground station businesses across EMEA and the Americas. My career spans the full arc of satellite ground infrastructure, from early SDN virtualization to today's AI-driven network orchestration. Ask me about 5G NR-NTN satellite integration, cloud-native ground station strategy, selling into Tier-1 global operators, and go-to-market strategy for SATCOM.
