    Blueprints for Scalable Growth & Effective Leadership with Serghei Busmachiu of Utilities One

    In this episode of 5G Talent Talk, Carrie Charles interviews Serghei Busmachiu, CEO of Utilities One, about his inspiring journey and the rapid growth of his company. Originally from Moldova, Serghei immigrated to the U.S. in 2013 and began his career in various jobs, eventually finding a role as a cable technician for Comcast. This experience motivated him to start Utilities One in 2016, a company that initially focused on last-mile telecom installations but soon expanded into telecom construction, engineering, and wireless services, driven by the demand for 5G and fiber infrastructure. Utilities One has since grown to over 3,000 employees and operates across 20 U.S. states. Serghei credits the company's success to a culture of hard work, resilience, and an emphasis on internal promotion. This culture, influenced by Serghei’s background in mixed martial arts, prioritizes determination and “grit” over traditional credentials. The company’s services now extend beyond telecom to power delivery, renewable energy, and water infrastructure, aiming to address critical infrastructure needs. Looking forward, Serghei envisions Utilities One becoming a billion-dollar leader in global infrastructure projects. In line with this vision, Utilities One is set to participate in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, including a major project to build residential homes.  Join the 5G Talent Talk community today:  broadstaffglobal.comInstagramLinkedInFacebookYouTube

  8. Harnessing AI to Drive Business Optimization and Growth with Angus Ward of Beyond Now

    Harnessing AI to Drive Business Optimization and Growth with Angus Ward of Beyond Now

    In this episode of 5G Talent Talk, Carrie Charles talks with Angus Ward, CEO of Beyond Now about the intersection of AI and Communication Service Providers (CSPs), exploring how AI can transform the telecom industry. He reveals that only 15% of companies currently derive significant value from AI, mainly due to fragmented experimentation across business units. To address this, Ward suggests prioritizing major business challenges and implementing a more structured approach to AI adoption, which can enhance cost efficiency, productivity, and customer experience, while driving revenue growth. Ward also introduces the concept of digital business platforms, which differ from traditional linear business models by using multi-sided approaches that involve various partners. These platforms create network effects, where growth leads to greater economies of scale and competitive advantages. Using examples like Uber, Ward explains how network effects make it challenging for competitors to match the service quality, thus reinforcing market dominance. Beyond Now’s culture, according to Ward, is shaped by its roots in management consulting, focusing on solving business problems rather than just providing technology. The company’s commitment to platform-based business models and revenue growth through partnerships has positioned it as a leader in helping CSPs and tech firms adapt to changing markets. Looking ahead, Ward envisions leveraging AI to enhance customer experiences, optimize processes, and expand into other sectors beyond telecom and tech. He emphasizes the importance of building strong partner ecosystems and communities to drive innovation and deliver more value to customers across industries.  Join the 5G Talent Talk community today:  broadstaffglobal.comInstagramLinkedInFacebookYouTube
