His work with Vodafone included implementing the industry’s earliest VoLTE deployments and launching the first virtualized network core platforms in Europe. Before that, he held roles with Cisco Systems, Portuguese financial payment network SIBS and the Lisbon Stock Exchange.
“I am thrilled to be joining B.Yond at this exciting time where the company is addressing the needs of telecom operators on their cloudification journey,” said Frazao. “The company’s technology, strong management team and the market’s potential to leverage machine learning and automation for network and cloud present exciting opportunities.”
