Summary
Leo Brown is a telecoms entrepreneur and network designer with 13 years’ experience building resilient, human-centred connectivity. As co-creator of Brighton Fibre he led the design and operation of a multihomed, failure-tolerant metro network that has never dropped a packet while pioneering transparent pricing and a genuine social tariff. He also runs core network and wholesale responsibilities at Global Reach Networks and founded Netfuse to demonstrate open-source-driven telephony at scale. His work spans hands-on architecture, open-source stacks, regulatory compliance and humanitarian deployments across Asia and Africa, including support during the West Africa Ebola response. Known for challenging legacy norms, he blends technical rigor with local engagement to make infrastructure both robust and socially grounded. An uncommon detail: he prioritises API-centric, open systems so the network is as approachable to the community as it is reliable.
