Derek Hume Email & Phone Number | I am a telecoms program / project manager and network consultant with over 20 years of experience in the IT&T sector across Africa, Europe, Asia, North America and Australia as a principal director at Accenture, a national network integration manager at Dimension Data and the CEO of a mobile phone & application development start-up. I am currently an independent technical network consultant specialising in fixed, 4G/5G and edge network architecture, virtualisation, use cases and deployment as well as cloud hosted OSS/BSS solutions. I am passionate about neutral host networks and the role these will play to reduce CAPEX and improve sustainability for mobile network operators. I recently finished a project where I served as a network infrastructure architect to assess options for a fixed operator to improve product agility and time to market through changes in the network architecture and OSS/BSS systems. Prior to that, I lead a small team to perform a network resilience review for a fixed network operator across process, systems and network. I presented the findings, risks and recommendations to the C-suite which received positive feedback. As a Principal Director at Accenture, I was the Africa & APAC NFV/SDN lead managing technical pre-sales, value proposition creation, RFx responses, program management of PoCs and delivery from design through to operations of telco cloud solutions. I was also the operations manager for the Africa & APAC Network Service Line business unit. I have experience and skills in defining telco and enterprise network transformation strategies, new product engineering, performing network reviews and business case creation as well as strong C-level communication skills. I establish a healthy rapport with clients and stakeholders, lead by example with no reservations to roll up my sleeves and have a reputation for getting the job done. Project specific roles include: • Fixed network next generation cloud-native OSS/BSS infrastructure architect • Fixed network resilience review lead • Program lead for network operating model definition, Agile OSS development, E2E architecture (virtualised O-RAN and core) and network organisation design for a cloud native mobile network operator • Telco NFVi strategic adviser covering orchestration, VIM, SDN, switching fabric, HW, VNF onboarding and microservices • E2E NFVi technical and integration delivery lead for a Tier-1 APAC telco • Submarine cable investment strategy I am an active runner, cyclist and paddler with a keen interest in wildlife conservation and sustainability.
