Musa Kabakci

In my expanded and elevated role at Vodafone, I continue to lead the management of OTT, Hyperscaler, and CDN relationships, driving strategic partnerships and maximizing revenue opportunities across Turkey, Iraq, Georgia, and the Middle East. Building on my previous experience, I now oversee a broader scope, including international data sales, the launch of new terrestrial routes as alternatives to subsea cables, and the procurement of off-net routes across Europe and the Middle East, ensuring seamless operations and business growth. In addition to sales, my responsibilities encompass business development and procurement, actively participating in the evaluation and execution of major subsea cable projects like Thetis and Kardessa, where Vodafone plays a key role as an owner or consortium partner. My comprehensive understanding of market trends, coupled with a focus on innovation, allows me to identify new opportunities for partnerships, ultimately fostering mutually beneficial collaborations that align with Vodafone's strategic objectives.

I managed the end-to-end Wholesale Data business for OTTs, Hyperscalers, and international carriers, ensuring profitable outcomes. I maintained a product portfolio (Connectivity, Colocation, CDN, Peering) aligned with market demand, consistently exceeding revenue targets. Actively involved in subsea cable projects around Turkey, I expanded the customer base by adding new carriers. I collaborated with internal teams to explore new markets and investments, while representing the company at international conferences to identify business opportunities.

As a member of the Vodafone Global Enterprise team operating in 31 countries, I drove accelerated revenue growth and acquired new business by identifying potential markets, strategically managing multinational accounts, leading global customer relationships, and maintaining C-level partnerships, while overseeing national account planning and accurate revenue forecasting.
