In each field Whitey Bluestein has operated -- wireless, energy, telecoms, entertainment, retail, multimedia, international and healthcare -- his vision and skills have
produced success. Bluestein brings integrity, drive,
creative strategies, relentless pursuit
and dogged persistence to his efforts. Here are a few
examples of his successes:
| |
- He led
settlement discussions, then put cellular telephone franchises together on a shoestring that, when later sold, accounted for
$4
billion of a larger transaction.
- Bluestein
crafted strategic distribution deals and helped raise a
$94 million strategic round from leading companies like Microsoft,
RadioShack, Cable & Wireless, Global Crossing and others that helped
his company go public
with, at the time, the highest valuation -- more
than $6 billion -- of any
Internet company or competitive phone company
in history.
- He obtained
first-of-a-kind services, including the telecom industry's first number portability, that helped his company double its growth, and get named the fastest growing service company in the US by Inc.

- He
developed the underlying wireless virtual network strategy, managed network design and then negotiated cellular service
contracts with leading network operators that enabled the first
MVNO in 1996, long& before the next MVNO launched in the US.
- He introduced a mobile payment company to several US operators, leading to an investment in the company by, and a strategic deal with a leading mobile operator.
- He persuaded a major US mobile operator to eliminate a calling feature charge critical to his client's success, which immediately resulted in dramatic increase of subscribers, and enabled a new relationship with an important national retailer.
- When it
looked like an important prospect was going to strike a deal with a competitor,
Bluestein stepped in, outmaneuvered the competitor, and won a national
distribution contract with the
leading consumer electronics
retailer, completing the deal in less than
two weeks!
- With no
prior experience in healthcare, he landed a new mobile
applications company its first contract, with the largest HMO in the
