"Curiosity, courage and listening — that's what being human is to me!" 🌟
— Eva Gildum, Managing Director at Yaana Solutions, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal
From a chance internship at Telia during Denmark’s GSM revolution…
To learning the ropes in data & financial clearing at Dan Net…
From employee #1 at NeuString (building analytics where none existed)…
To today leading Yaana Solutions — supporting 130+ mobile operators worldwide.
This is the story of Eva Gildum — a people-first leader who turned questions into products, and products into impact.
In this candid episode of Humans of Telecom, Eva explains how she:
🔎 Challenged the status quo by putting autonomy and real decision-making back in the hands of telecom professionals
📊 Built analytics that translate complex roaming data into actionable value (and proved customers would pay for it)
💡 Gained her masterclass in customer experience from none other than Disney!
Plus — the human side you’ll love:
🏃♀️ A “meditative runner” who clears her head on the road
🎷 A saxophone player who learned to perform for hundreds (and survived the stage nerves)
🧩 Quiet moments: puzzles, knitting and the introvert who also lights up the after-party
Eva’s story is a reminder that innovation is equal parts tech and trust — and that curiosity + courage + listening make the best product teams.
