She specializes in new product and market strategy.
She is an expert on emerging enterprise-class telecom/network services, including telecom cloud, next generation network and performance management, SIP Trunking and Unified Communications services (particularly hosted UC, collaboration/conferencing and FMC services), broadband access, 3G and 4G services, managed network services, switched Ethernet (VPLS) and MPLS services.
