Bulent Cansever

I’m an experienced strategic partnerships and telecom executive with over 20 years in the industry, including senior roles at Vodafone Group and advisory work across EMEA. My focus areas include go-to-market strategy, digital transformation, revenue growth planning, and C-level stakeholder engagement.

As part of my commitment to giving back, I offer pro bono consultancy to startups, NGOs, accelerators, and nonprofits that need support with:

Telecom market strategy and commercial modeling

Digital product positioning and monetization plans

Partnership development and ecosystem mapping

Business development and C-level pitch readiness

Operational efficiency and transformation frameworks

I’m particularly interested in supporting organizations working on connectivity, digital inclusion, emerging markets, or tech-driven social impact. I’m available for short consultations or ongoing advisory roles and happy to tailor my support based on your needs.

I’ve mentored senior managers, early-stage founders, and telco professionals across EMEA, helping them shape commercial strategies, refine investor and partner narratives, and navigate digital transformation. At Vodafone, I coached regional teams on market expansion, product adaptation, and C-level engagement. More recently, I’ve supported executives from MEA operators as an independent consultant, guiding them through GTM execution and partnership structuring. I bring a practical, no-nonsense approach focused on clarity, impact, and real-world outcomes.
