I have a degree in telecom engineering, and over 10 years of working experience in this industry, always in operators.
When I joined Portugal Telecom Group, 9 years ago, I became responsible for the brand new (at the time) IP/MPLS backbone. The main actions included the network design, high-level operational control, internal training and pre-sales support.
In January 2003 I joined the Network Development and Strategy division, being in charge of transport layer development and strategy. Since July 2008 I am in charge of fixed access as well.
