Successes
In each field Bluestein has operated -- wireless, energy, telecoms, entertainment, retail, multimedia, international and healthcare -- his vision and skills have
produced successes. Bluestein brings integrity, drive,
creative strategies, relentless pursuit of an objective,
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 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 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 telephone service
contracts with leading network operators that enabled the
first
MVNO in 1996, long before the next MVNO launched in the US.
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 nation's
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!
