Welcome to the ThinkData Podcast, in partnership with Dataworks.

Today’s guest is Adil, Chief Technology Officer at OXIO.

Adil spent nearly two decades at Verizon before joining OXIO in 2023, where he now leads the technology strategy for a company that’s redefining telecom.

OXIO is the world’s first telecom-as-a-service platform. It empowers brands to launch their mobile networks, giving them full control over the wireless experience and access to valuable customer data.

We covered a lot, including:

  • After nearly 20 years at Verizon, what inspired him to join a startup like OXIO
  • How is AI reshaping the mobile telecom space?
  • What’s driving users to switch mobile providers, and how can AI help address those frustrations?
