I spent my whole career in the technology business, and I was convinced of the importance, at a grand scale, of the development of global connectivity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology.
I've always had a passion for technology, photography, startups, and connecting people. Bringing those aspects together made me successful.
There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.
Networking is an essential part of building wealth.
We understand how to build and manage businesses that involve technology, engineering, and people at a large scale on a global platform.
Connectivity just can't be a privilege for people in the richest countries. We believe that connecting everyone in the world is one of the great challenges of our generation, and that's why we are happy to play whatever small part in that that we can.
While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.
I sensed my chance and embraced the telecom business. I started marketing telephones, answering/fax machines under the brand name Beetel, and the company picked up really fast.
In my experience, in this industry, the things that have been breakthrough have all been about connecting human beings to each other, communicating with each other.
I'm an engineer turned entrepreneur who's passionate about connection.
