Alex Davies | Senior Analyst & Editor
Rethink Technology Research

Alex heads up the forecasting and consulting projects in Rethink TV, as well as leading the Wireless group - overseeing Wireless Watch, and RAN Research. He particularly enjoys picking the brains of industry experts, to diagnose technologies and business models, and also the occasional rant about open source and industry standards. Alex enjoys public speaking, moderating discussion panels, and presenting his research findings to the world – often going against the grain. With experience in webinars and podcasting, both in-house and external (such as Global 5G Evolution, TFI Technology, and Show Me The Money), judging industry awards (like the CSI Awards and the GLOMOs), and speaking bluntly to investor events (sometimes under NDA). He particularly enjoys taking large companies to task, and ranting about the inefficiencies that are encumbering the largest operators and vendors. Alex came aboard to lead Rethink’s IoT initiatives. He cut his teeth on Faultline, before launching Riot (which ran from 2014 to 2020) and now delivers vital competitive intelligence for companies and their technology choices. Alex focuses on the infrastructure used to transport video through internet networks, as well as operator network deployments, and staying ahead of whichever buzzwords are doing the rounds currently. Alex joined Rethink in 2013, having graduated with a Master’s degree in English Literary Studies, from the University of Southampton. A keen hobbyist builder of computers and workstations, the current custodian of a 250 year old stone cottage, and a begrudging DIY enthusiast, Alex is also a fan of weird books and horrible nasty music.
