Architecting the Future of Composable Telecom Intelligence.

Horacio is a veteran transformation leader who helps Telecom CEOs and CIOs navigate the highest-stakes transition of the decade: moving from rigid monolithic estates to Composable Intelligent Architectures.

With a career spanning the launch of Latin America's first cellular networks to managing global IT estates for 120M+ subscribers, Horacio brings a rare "Architecture-to-Outcome" perspective. He specializes in restoring Architectural Authority, ensuring that technical debt is eliminated and that the path to Agentic AI is built on the fluid data foundations of the TM Forum ODA standard.

A practitioner who bridges the gap between boardroom vision and engineering reality, Horacio combines decades of CTIO-level leadership with advanced AI and Machine Learning rigor. He doesn't just deliver strategy; he delivers operable, secure, and self-sufficient platforms that return control to the operator.

Focus Areas:

Restoring Authority: Re-establishing governance over BSS/OSS stacks Architecture to stop vendor-driven debt.

Architecting for AI: Designing the "Composable Estate" required for Agentic AI to function.

Engineering Reality: Bridging the gap between the CIO's strategy and disciplined delivery.

Niranjan is a high-impact Program Director and Agilist specializing in the "radical simplification" of complex Telecom delivery ecosystems. With extensive experience leading massive transformations in the Indian Telecom market—one of the world's most competitive and high-scale environments—he excels at turning stalled legacy projects into high-velocity, automated delivery engines.

At DEXTRIT, Niranjan bridges the Execution Gap. He focuses on embedding Agile rigor and DevOps maturity into the heart of the operator's transformation, moving teams away from monolithic "Waterfall" thinking toward a continuous delivery model. His expertise in Delivery Governance ensures that clear decision rights and architectural guardrails are maintained, preventing the "drift" that often causes mid-sized operator projects to exceed budgets and timelines.

His mission is to deliver a self-sufficient, high-performance estate—ensuring that the transformation doesn't just "finish," but leaves the organization with the internal muscle to innovate at the speed of AI.

Focus Areas:

Vendor Delivery Governance: Transforming the relationship with SIs from "black-box" dependency to transparent, metric-driven partnerships. We enforce high-fidelity delivery standards that ensure vendors remain aligned with your strategic intent, not their own bottom line.

Hybrid SDLC & DevOps Integration: Bridging the gap between vendor releases and internal operations. We implement automated governance and "Shift-Left" testing frameworks that ensure third-party code is secure, operable, and seamlessly integrated into your estate.

Agile Oversight & Decision Rights: Re-establishing internal control over the transformation roadmap. We implement lean, high-velocity governance structures that empower the operator—not the vendor—to make the critical decisions on priority, quality, and architectural compliance.
