In this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, Mike Mannino sits down with global telecom executive Pablo Mlikota for a raw and inspiring conversation about leading international expansion in a rapidly evolving industry. From building cross-cultural teams in the Middle East to navigating the intense telecom downturn of the early 2000s, Pablo shares what it really takes to thrive as a leader on the global stage.
