Francisco Kattan

Francisco Kattan is a mobile ecosystem executive who takes technology companies to leadership positions. Francisco has deep expertise across the entire mobile value chain, including devices, operators, developers, and content providers.

The launch of the iPhone unleashed very dramatic changes in the mobile ecosystem. In this blog I write about how the ecosystem is changing and provide my perspective on how different players are being impacted.

This blog represents my personal opinion and not necessarily that of my employer.
