Guy Lupo

Guy and his team are leading the development of Open Digital Architecture (ODA) solutions to support AI-and-data- native communications service providers. Their work focuses on three strategic tracks: advancing AI leadership through real-world innovation and a global community of experts; accelerating AI adoption with a practical playbook for faster, scalable deployment; and establishing a harmonized technology blueprint to enable future-ready, AI-first infrastructure.
With more than 30 years of experience in senior roles across global telecoms and enterprise technology, Guy brings a powerful blend of technical depth and strategic leadership. A TM Forum Distinguished Fellow, he was recognized for his groundbreaking work on Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) standards during his time at Telstra. His expertise spans AI, machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud, networks, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), backed by hands-on experience across the full technology lifecycle.
He is currently pursuing a PhD at Swinburne University, focused on creating a metric for the trustworthiness of AI systems, a reflection of his commitment to building AI systems that are both effective and ethical.
