Cal has more than ten years of ICT industry experience and has been responsible for running and implementing numerous research projects, developing research methodologies, running surveys and has conducted many syndicated and private client studies whilst at BMI-T. This involves comprehensive project management, with the ability to liaise and manage the process at all levels, as well as requiring a thorough understanding of research, the design and implementation of survey programmes and the logical and systematic analysis of data utilising various sources of information and market-based studies.

These have included a comprehensive international study on number portability and the implementation thereof for MTN, strategic direction and the competitive landscape for Cell C and smaller consumer-based research projects for Telkom, Siemens and Ericsson. Cal has also written reports for BMI-T on the SME market – on an annual basis and which involves a comprehensive consumer research project – as well as mobility and 3G trends, the regulatory environment and the effect of the recently promulgated EC Act, including the future competitive landscape and players in that market as well as other various market reports.
