Description
David Tomalin is CTO at CityFibre, where he leads the network technology strategy and engineering efforts behind growth of the UK's largest independent full-fibre network. A telecoms veteran with over 30 years of experience, David previously held CTO and leadership roles at Ciena, euNetworks, and Level 3 Communications, making him a leading voice on the future of digital infrastructure.
He has 25 years behind him across Ciena, euNetworks and Level 3, so he speaks with real authority, but the story he brings is refreshingly concrete. CityFibre now uses AI-powered visual analysis to check the quality of fibre installations across the country, catching human error, cutting repeat engineer visits, and enriching the asset records that feed predictive work later.
If your AI ambitions keep colliding with real operations, David's session shows what good looks like at scale.
