Andrew Kreig
President, Wireless Communications Association International
I was an investor and Chairman of a wireless broadband company where Ray was CTO and a key member of management. Ray is one of the best technical people I have worked with for his ability to plan and troubleshoot networks and also to communicate with non-technical people the pros/cons and cost benefit of alternatives being considered.
Bill Elsner
Manager at Telecom Partners
A well-recognized genius, which only partially explains his leadership of a broadband wireless startup that grew into a $billion operator in 3-years. As an inventor and pioneer for CDMA, he held the credentials to raise $450M in venture capital and vendor financing, while building businesses in 15 countries... all done with a friendly smile and a mind-blowing sense of humor.
