Global Telco Consult

What Global Telco Consult does

Global Telco Consult (GTC) is an independent telecommunications consultancy founded in 2016 and headquartered in Gräfelfing, Germany, operating as a fully remote team across four continents. The firm serves mobile network operators, messaging service providers, platform providers, firewall providers, enterprises, and investment firms with a portfolio organized around three pillars: Consult (Productization, M&A Advisory, Market Intelligence), Enable (Training, Recruitment), and Outsource (Messaging and Mobile ID Managed Services, Procurement & Sales). GTC monetizes through hourly, daily, or project-based consulting fees (paid within 15 calendar days of invoice) as well as ongoing managed services engagements.

The company's differentiated offerings include Messaging Pulse (a data-intelligence consultancy launched in partnership with Mobilesquared), IoT Amplified (IoT M&A advisory with Kaleido Intelligence), and Number Risk Scoring (an AI/ML-driven telco data monetization product launched in March 2026 that analyzes behavioral and traffic data to generate real-time risk scores). Underlying technical capabilities span ML-based anomaly and predictive analytics on CDRs and CAMARA API data, AI-driven template spoofing detection for A2P SMS, NLP-enabled chatbots built on third-party LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT) with Agentic RAG, and AI-assisted cybersecurity auditing on telecom infrastructure.

GTC markets through thought leadership — a blog, newsletter, webinars, whitepapers, and the GTC Insiders video series — supplemented by an annual presence at MWC Barcelona and direct enterprise sales. The firm reports a client base of more than 30 telco brands, including Telstra, Etisalat, Akton, NOS, Nexmo/Vonage, DIMOCO, and Yotpo. Leadership comprises CEO and founder José García, COO/CFO Giovanni Benini, Chief People Officer Mariló García Martín, and Chief Identity Officer Guillaume Bourcy (founder of Oofty, acquired by GTC).
