Mark Evans is a telecommunications industry expert, with over 35 years of experience including co-founder and CEO of the world’s leading telecommunication expense management software company, Quickcomm. Ultimately having sold Quickcomm to Vodafone Global Enterprise group in 2010, Mark is now well positioned to fully understand the technology and administrative needs of Business and enterprise. In 1999, following the success of his Asia Pacific based consulting company ICC, Mark co-founded a company focused specifically on Telecom Management for large enterprise, Quickcomm. As the Quickcomm product and company developed and acquired global customers, Mark relocated from Sydney to New York where in 2003, Quickcomm won contracts with Verizon telecommunications (USA’s largest carrier), UPS, Cisco, Rio Tinto and Alcan and Exxon Mobil. USA telecom operators loved the visibility and level of management the software gave their corporate customers, eradicating errors and making billing, technology changes and upgrades a simpler process for customers to understand. By the end of 2008, boasting a purpose built software suite, Quickcomm had doubled its revenues year on year since 2004 and had offices in Australia, USA, Europe and Asia Pacific. Vodafone became a client and like the US carriers, saw the huge advantage of their corporate customers using Quickcomm and a unique version of the software was offered to their corporate customers. In 2010 Vodafone Global Enterprises acquired Quickcomm and rebranded the product to VTM – Vodafone Telecom Management. Mark stayed on for two years as head of the team in London before returning to Sydney in 2012 and developing the Telecom Analytics company.
Terry has enjoyed a diverse career in global telecommunications over more than 20 years. Starting in technical roles with global equipment supplier NEC, opportunities lead to roles in sales, marketing and business management. Telecoms market deregulation globally during the 1990’s introduced huge market disruption. Out of this opportunity, Terry became co-founder of Quickcomm which evolved from a telecoms audit and consulting business into a full service software company recognized as the global leader in Telecom Expense Management by industry analysts Gartner and Forrester. With customers such as Exxon Mobil, UPS, Cisco, Rio Tinto and BP, Quickcomm’s global success was further confirmed by its acquisition in 2010 by Vodafone Global Enterprise. In continuing to pursue the next phase of telecom market evolution, Terry moved into the global WAN space as the enabler for every organization’s migration to the cloud. These roles, most recently with BT Global Services, involved the strategic account acquisition and management of global organization’s based in the APAC region. Terry’s focus is now firmly on the next generation of global networking technologies being hybrid and SD-WAN, NFV, 4G/5G integration and resulting to business solutions. He consults extensively to both global corporates and service providers delivering both business and technical strategy for the assessment, evaluation, acquisition, integration and management of these rapidly growing technologies.
