Part#5: Former LinkedIn Executive joins IUNGO Network

Dylan Sharkey[https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylansharkey/], LinkedIn’s former Head of Sales Solutions for the Middle East and North Africa, has joined the IUNGO Network (https://iungo.network/) Board of Directors as a Senior Advisor to the Executive team.

On his rationale for choosing to join IUNGO, Dylan explained that after a successful career at LinkedIn and fruitful investments in a number of projects around Europe, he is now extremely selective with the startups he becomes involved with.

“What attracted me was the strong management team that has executed successfully on multiple ventures, combined with the technical genius and vision of the CTO Andrius Mačys[https://www.linkedin.com/in/andriusmacys/]. On top of this, the tremendous business opportunity to disrupt the Global ISP market using blockchain powered technology proved frankly irresistible.”

“Dylan joins with invaluable experience of contributing to the stellar growth of LinkedIn when it was still a fast-growing startup before the successful IPO in 2011”, said IUNGO Network CEO Ričardas Bernotavičius[https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricardasb/]. Dylan was based at LinkedIn’s EMEA HQ in Dublin Ireland, before being assigned to launch the Dubai office as employee number two and scaling it up to over 100 employees in the Middle East today.

Dylan brings a wealth of experience in Sales Management, Enterprise and Government partnerships, hiring top talent and scaling revenue in hyper-growth startup environments. He will leverage this at IUNGO[https://iungo.network/] by advising management in these areas, thus helping to build a world class team while scaling the commercial side of the business so that they can hit the ground running post ICO and accelerate through their technology and revenue milestones.

The Global Internet Service Providers industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the global economy. According to IBIS World’s research, the annual growth rate between 2012 and 2017 was 8.8%. The majority of Internet service providers are multi billion dollar Telecommunications companies like AT&T, Verizon and China mobile.

Most Telcos and ISP’s are regionally based with no convenient services for today’s new generation of freelance workers, digital nomads, travelers, vloggers etc. It is a significant problem for them to access reliable and sufficient internet services outside of their home country. Wi-Fi password hunting, filling forms in airports and public spaces, unknown security or payment options, poor download and upload speeds and data usage restrictions causing not just inconvenience but a measurable and material waste of time, energy and money. The solution could be a global ISP provider. This is how the IUNGO vision was born.

IUNGO is a globally distributed wireless internet service provider built with the help of a worldwide community. They are Bootstrapping a community where everyone can assume responsibilities and benefit from the associated rewards for running parts of the service delivery infrastructure. Members can contribute by installing Public Wi-Fi access points on their premises and/or running parts of the service infrastructure.
