Having spent more than 20 years at Subex, Vinod knows well its’ ecosystem and is a champion of the culture and ethos of Subex and has an ability to inspire, energise, and connect with customers, employees and other stake holders.
This, combined with his ability to strategise and execute, is what Subex needs as we enter the next chapter of growth and will move the company forward with the speed required to capitalise on the opportunities in front of us”.
Vinod Kumar joined Subex in 1997 and was part of the team that created software business at Subex and was instrumental in creating the sales and marketing channels that has become a great strength of Subex.

Over the last 25 years, we have emerged as a global leader in the revenue and CapEx management space within the Telco segment, saving millions of dollars for our customers. The increasing adoption of digitisation and IoT expands the market that we operate and make it extremely exciting.
The opportunity that lies ahead for Subex is enormous and the ability to lead it to the next phase is deeply humbling and exhilarating. Our global customer base and a set of extremely committed Subexians gives me the confidence that we have a great future ahead”.
