TELUS

I have been passionate about Nephio’s vision and adoption across industry since inception. Working in Service Orchestration space for the past 8+ years I understand the problems with previous opensource projects, standards, existing industry solutions and looking to bridge the gap of telecom, enterprise and web-scale world through Nephio. At this stage I would like to do the following

1. Increase Nephio active participations through creating opportunities within enterprise, start-ups and academia’s involvement

2. Ensure TSC members share a voice in shaping SIGs strategy and Nephio’s roadmap/direction

3. Continue to align Nephio’s vision with O-RAN, CAMARA, Sylva and broader opensource ecosystem

4. Drive AI adoption for Nephio at various levels bring synergies with LFN’s AI initiatives.
