Jeff Kagan has been described as the most widely quoted analyst in telecom industry
Kagan has covered telecom, wireless, 5G, AI, and emerging technologies for more than four decades. As an ICT industry analyst, columnist, and executive advisor, he provides strategic guidance on companies, technologies, regulations, and market evolution.
Former AT&T Executive Vice President of Public Relations Dick Martin highlighted Kagan’s influence in his book Tough Calls: AT&T and the Hard Lessons Learned from the Telecom Wars, writing:
“Jeff Kagan has been described as the most widely quoted analyst in the telecommunications industry.”
AI: The Biggest Growth Opportunity, and Risk, of Our Time
Over the decades, the technology sector has experienced powerful waves of transformation. The Internet reshaped business beginning in the 1990s. The iPhone and Android smartphone revolutionized mobile nearly 20 years ago.
Today, according to Kagan, AI represents a change-wave even larger and faster.
“We are now facing the largest and fastest-growing change-wave we have ever experienced with AI,” says Kagan. “AI represents both the greatest growth opportunity and the greatest risk or threat to every company.”
Kagan emphasizes that leadership across nearly every industry is now “up for grabs.”
“Who will emerge as the leaders in this new AI era?” he asks. “The many companies I work with all want to be on that short list.”
Executive Leadership at a Crossroads
Kagan reports a growing number of CEOs, CMOs, and senior leadership teams seeking strategic guidance as they evaluate their AI strategies.
“These executives recognize both the opportunity and the threat,” says Kagan. “They see competitors moving quickly. They do not want to be left behind. They want to lead.”
With 40 years of experience advising companies on industry inflection points, Kagan believes the AI era demands decisive leadership, informed judgment, and continuous adaptation.
“We don’t yet know exactly what tomorrow will look like,” he explains. “Success requires constant awareness, sound judgment, courage, and strong leadership. Only some companies will rise to the top. The question is — will you be one of them?”
The Key Question for Every CEO and CMO regarding AI
“How is your company preparing for leadership in the AI-driven future?” Kagan asks. “That is the defining question executives must answer today.”
