Successes

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. Magazine.
  • 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 US, in less than 60 days!
