As Executive Vice President - AI & Data Innovation, Guy is responsible for helping our Members accelerate the responsible adoption of AI and data technologies at scale. 

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.
