Benefits of working with Telzed

Breadth of international experience.  Roger's past work has included projects based in: UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Bulgaria, Palestine, Jordan, Oman, Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Korea, Hong Kong and South Africa.  This enables a huge amount of knowledge and insights to be brought into any project.  This ensures that every solution is adjusted to local needs: one solution can never fit every situation.

Project management and lead.  Roger has led many projects from small to >2M$.  Joint teams of client and consulting staff with diverse skills, have been managed.  This ensures projects are delivered on plan and on budget and enables them to fit with your business needs.

Senior level reporting.  Many projects have reported to CFO/board level.  Presenting issues and solutions at all levels is vital in most projects.  Experience of public hearings and facing other parties in negotiations and disputes helps to ensure useful outcomes.  

Working for all sides.  By working for: fixed and mobile operators; incumbents and new entrants; regulators and major corporations procuring telecom services, it ensures a full picture of the issues and arguments as seen by other parties.  This is often the key to achieving the best outcome.

Mixture of skills.  Complex consulting projects require many specialisms.  Roger has extensive experience in accounting systems, regulation, economics, technology and the telecoms business in general.  He has a PhD, is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology.  Many projects require combining legal, technical and financial staff and this is best managed by understanding the different team roles.
