Mplify Executives:
The Board will oversee execution of Mplify’s 2026 roadmap, focusing on practical implementation of standardized APIs, certification expansion, and automation to reduce friction in multi-provider environments.
“AI-driven services are redefining what networks must deliver — determinism, automation, and assured interoperability across providers,” said Bob Victor, Chair, Mplify Board of Directors. “In 2026, our focus is execution: making it easier for providers to connect and for services to be ordered, delivered, and assured seamlessly across domains with less friction. That means scaling standardized APIs and certification and enabling emerging A2A and MCP-based interfaces that allow systems — and increasingly AI agents — to interact reliably across multi-provider environments.”
“Our role is not simply to describe the future of the industry,” said Daniele Mancuso, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mplify. “Our job is to turn real-world experience into a repeatable delivery model that members can use commercially, operationally, and with credibility in the market. That means moving from vision to implementation in a way that drives measurable outcomes.”
“As AI workloads scale, interoperability becomes both a necessity for service providers and a key competitive differentiator, enabling them to deliver value to businesses,” said Franck Morales, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mplify. “That’s why our priority is to focus on executing our clear AI strategy and fostering an Mplify ecosystem, which includes: technology providers, IT service actors, as well as communication and cloud service providers, translating standards and APIs to accelerate the adoption.”
