Evolving network monetization and fueling innovation across Telefonica’s global footprint
Guest host Mike MacDade sits down with Juan Carlos Garcia, SVP of Technology Innovation and Ecosystems at Telefonica, for a wide-ranging conversation. Also: TGI Open Mic segments!
“If we don’t use a tool like that [AI], we will not be able to understand the networks in the future. Every day you have different kinds of applications and services. The network traffic is not so predictable. So traffic patterns, the behavior of the network changes with new applications or services. It is changing so fast.”

Evolving network monetization and fueling innovation across Telefonica’s global footprint
Welcome back to MWC Las Vegas! Guest host Mike MacDade, Chief of Staff to the CPO and co-host of Amdocs’ Your Career: Is it choice or chance? podcast is back! In this episode, he sits down with Juan Carlos Garcia, SVP of Technology Innovation and Ecosystems at Telefonica.
Juan’s title contains both the words Ecosystem and Innovation- but how are these related to each other and to the broader telecommunications industry? Mike and Juan dive into what his role entails and why both aspects of his position are important for Telefonica, and in the industry generally. They also discuss how the large company addresses its various markets, and how services can be delivered efficiently and sustainably in these different regions. Also included are our new TGI Open Mic segments where attendees at MWC gave us their viewpoints on everything they were hearing, thinking and seeing at the conference.
