"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.
