He combines deep RF, network and certification expertise (5G/4G bands, VoNR, eSIM, CA, EN-DC and 3GPP R16/R17 features) with commercial portfolio planning, forecasting and operator relationship management across Vodafone, Telekom, Movistar and others. Previously he led technical teams at Huawei in Spain, managing launches, QC and customization for high-volume CBG shipments and maintaining brand NPS and operator trust.
