WIRELESS CTO RESPONSIBILITIES:

Wireless (and mobility) technology, particularly future technology choices and technical/system architecture. Expected results: major role shaping forward wireless (and mobility) technology investments and roadmap.

Key customer-facing advocate for the business. Expected results: highly sought-after technical customer-facing resource for key customers and partners; providing customer credibility to technology and business recommendations.

Key representative of WTG in the broader technical and CTO community. Expected results: significant results for WTG and for the company.

Primary leadership of WTG’s standards activities. Expected results: effective use of standards bodies to advance our customers’ interests and our business interests.

Lead the Wireless CTO team, a small, highly innovative team consisting mostly of individual contributors. Expected results: significant technology and business results and development for the team members.

Key member of the WTG senior staff. Expected results: promoting team effectiveness and team results.

In order to be successful, the CTO role requires an in-depth understanding of networking, from the network layer through to the session layer (e.g., SIP). The candidate must also have a deep understanding of security protocols utilized to protect networks, from authentication, privacy through to backend authorization systems. As networks are becoming complex, we are looking to provide systems that are simpler to deploy and manage. To this end, an understanding of management systems, for both infrastructure and endpoints, is also required.

The Wireless CTO needs to be versant in wireless technologies. Ideally, the candidate must have a background in either 802.11 or 802.16, although experience in CDMA networks is also acceptable. If the latter, it is important to also have some experience and knowledge of enterprise networks, while exposure to service provider markets is key. And an understanding of the interactions of these markets is required. Today, enterprise mobility is typically associated with mobile mail, and it is therefore important that the candidate have familiarity in this space. While not mandatory, having expertise in device management and security is considered a plus.

Strong management skills are required. The Wireless CTO must be capable of balancing technology and management in order to optimize the effectiveness and development of the team.

The Wireless CTO must have demonstrated the ability to collaborate within a large organization and achieve significant results. Success will require one to establish strong relationships and the ability to navigate through a complex organization.

The Wireless CTO must have demonstrated effectiveness at setting and implementing standards-making strategy.

Finally, the Wireless CTO must have strong presentations skills, and be equally effective in communicating internally to the organization as well as externally to partners and customers. She or he must be capable of communicating to both at the technical and business level.
