NEW YORK, NY, March 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – iQSTEL, Inc. (OTC: IQST) expands the corporate advisory board with the addition of Italo Segnini, a 25-year telecommunications veteran.
The worldwide telecommunications market continues to evolve with 5G opening up the doorway to real-time high bandwidth communications on a global scale. IQSTEL’s acquisition strategy is moving right along with it as discussed in our recent press release regarding the 2,300 mile fiber-optic network company offer. The time is now to acquire strategic assets and companies in the telecom space, as we saw last month with the approval of Sprint and T-Mobile’s merger, and our $25 Million investment banking agreement has positioned iQSTEL for rapid execution of a number of acquisitions.
Mr. Segnini has worked with many telecom companies over the years such as Telefonica, Millicom, and Televisa, and brings with him an extensive list of specialties, some of which include: advising U.S., Latin American, and Global Telecom Tier 1s and Tier 2s, regarding Voice (ILD), Data, SMS and Roaming Wholesale, Product development, Sales, strategy, operations, processes, and organizational management, OTT Products, SMS and more.
Mr. Iglesias, the Company’s CEO commented, “Mr. Segnini’s invaluable knowledge and industry contacts across Central America are key to the 5G expansion we have planned for US Link to Guatemala and the rest of Central America. Our experience with Italo’s work in Etelix completed in 2018 and early 2019 make him a natural addition to iQSTEL’s M&A strategy.”
In addition, our growth in the US-Mexico SMS marketplace, via a new acquisition, will greatly benefit from Mr. Segnini’s SMS and international fiber-optic linkup experience. We look forward to working with Mr. Segnini moving forward on a permanent basis,” concluded Mr. Iglesias, iQSTEL’s CEO.
