Context
Tangoe operated in mobile telecom expense management (TEM), a category where billing, provisioning, and accountability had to work consistently across wildly different regulatory environments, from North America to over a hundred other countries — all while the company itself was scaling through acquisition toward a public offering.
What I Did
- Directed globally distributed teams across the U.S., India, and China executing a multi-year strategic roadmap for TEM solutions serving 350 enterprise clients.
- Co-invented the Hybrid Liability Model (US Patents 9473922, 9930510), a patented approach to redefining telecom expense management and accountability frameworks.
- Led global expansion from North America to 105 countries across six continents, navigating diverse billing, provisioning, and regulatory landscapes along the way.
- Evaluated multiple acquisition targets to expand geographic and technology footprint, supporting transaction evaluations that assessed product and technology fit ahead of investment decisions.
- Tailored solutions for a global customer base, adapting to multilingual, multi-currency, and region-specific telecom infrastructures for 50+ Fortune 500 clients.
Outcome
- $30M+ in annual revenue
- 2 patents, co-invented
- Navigated the company through a successful IPO — the first and only company in its sector to do so
