I’m thrilled to be part of that journey.”

Telness Tech’s flagship product, Seamless OS, is a cloud-native platform that enables any mobile operator or digital-first company to launch or expand mobile services using the power of AI and automation. In 2024 and 2025, the company entered the U.S., European, and African markets, and its platform now powers more than 24 mobile operators, including partnerships with industry leaders such as T-Mobile and Lebara.
