Profile

Emma Buckland is a principal analyst at STL Partners. Her focus is network transformation and how this improves operational efficiency of telcos’ networks and allows them to find new revenue growth. Key topics include programmable connectivity, in particular through APIs, and other network-as-a-service offerings, such as edge computing, private networks. More recently she’s also investigated how telcos can monetise AI through an infrastructure-based, a service-oriented approach and a mix of both.
