Speaker

As the APAC leader for the Network Infrastructure Solution Business Development team, Donny brings a wealth of international experience.

Having been with Nokia for 25+ years he has developed extensive experience in business development & sales through senior roles in Antwerp, China, Singapore and Japan.

His background includes multiple years running the New Product Introduction and Business Development activities in Fixed Networks for APJ driving significant business stimulation – introducing new solutions in new markets and customers.

Fuelled by his passion for Enterprise he developed the initial blueprints for Passive Optical LAN with the engineering teams before taking on the Cluster Leader role for Fixed Networks in Japan.

He then switched tracks to lead the Enterprise sales team in Japan and capture the birth of 5G private wireless with the release of dedicated Enterprise spectrum. Building on that success he moved into leading the APJ Private wireless and Edge cloud sales team spearheading 5G private wireless campus deployments across the APJ region in Mining, Utilities, Manufacturing and Transport in partnership with Telco and local/global system integrators.
