David Valladares

David Espadas has spent the last ten years doing business development for one of the largest global Telco solution providers, working with many of the largest Tier-1 global operators. During this time he has lead some of the first global initiatives in the new field of real-time Customer Experience Management for Telco, where Big Data and Analytics are the technological foundation of the driving use cases.

Previous to that, David had an extensive consulting career in the Telco sector, serving customers in Europe and Asia. He spent some time as well teaching different subjects for a Computer Science master degree, and doing some pure Research & Development in Parallel & Massive Computing, just after concluding his studies in Physics.

In this way he has gained a good understanding of the different components of the Telecommunications sector value chain, from the technology through the more business-focused aspects, including all the complexities of large transformation projects in the intersection between IT systems and the network.

Since 2015 he has been giving classes in IE in the subject of Big Data Analytics for Telco.
