Meet the Speaker: Tiago Rodrigues, President & CEO of the Wireless Broadband Alliance

Shaping the Future of Secure, Intelligent Connectivity at the Acordis Tech Show 2026

As AI continues to reshape the enterprise, the networks supporting it are becoming more critical than ever. Connectivity must not only be faster, it must be more seamless, secure, intelligent, and capable of supporting an increasingly connected world.

At the Acordis Tech Show 2026, we’re bringing together leaders at the forefront of that transformation, including Tiago Rodrigues, President & CEO of the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA).

Tiago leads the WBA’s global strategy and operations, working closely with its Board and members to address some of the most important opportunities and challenges shaping the Wi-Fi industry. His work brings together operators, technology companies, service providers, and enterprises to develop industry-wide programs, standards, and initiatives designed to accelerate innovation and adoption.

Transforming Wi-Fi for the Better, for All

At the center of Tiago’s leadership is a clear ambition: to transform Wi-Fi for the better, for all.

That means creating connectivity that is more seamless and accessible while addressing the growing requirements around security, intelligence, performance, and interoperability.

As organizations adopt AI, cloud platforms, IoT devices, and increasingly distributed technology environments, the network is no longer simply the infrastructure connecting users to applications. It has become a critical foundation for how modern organizations operate, innovate, and secure their environments.

Tiago brings a global perspective to this evolution and to the collaboration required across the technology industry to move connectivity forward.

More Than 15 Years of Connectivity Leadership

Before joining the Wireless Broadband Alliance, Tiago spent 15 years with Portugal Telecom Group, where he held leadership positions spanning business innovation and public Wi-Fi.

During his tenure, he led Wi-Fi strategy, service development, and international expansion while building experience across strategic marketing, regulatory affairs, pricing, product development, and roaming.

That combination of technical, commercial, and strategic experience has given him a unique perspective on how connectivity has evolved and where it needs to go next.

Join the Conversation in Miami

Tiago will join an impressive lineup of technology and business leaders at the Acordis Tech Show 2026, where this year’s conversations will explore security and cybersecurity in the age of AI.

For CIOs, CTOs, IT leaders, security professionals, and business executives, his perspective offers an opportunity to look beyond today’s infrastructure and consider what the next generation of secure, intelligent connectivity will require.
