SPEAKER PROFILES

Clemens Rossberg – “Setting up a company: Mistakes you should only make once.”

In March 2006, Clemens co-founded fonYou, a mobile operator (www.fonyou.com) and technology solutions provider (www.fonyoutelecom.com) based in Barcelona. fonYou has invented the Online Mobile Telephony Concept, which gives customers total control of their mobile telephony services and gives them direct access to their call records, text messages and voicemails through any web browser.

Prior to fonYou, Clemens co-founded NextGen Consulting (www.nextgen.es), a consultancy firm where he acted as Partner. NextGen, set up in London in 1999 and with its headquarters in Barcelona since 2000, provided highly specialised financial planning and analysis services to the telecom and internet industries.

Before NextGen, Clemens worked in Lehman Brothers’ Telecom & Media group in London where he was involved in major European M&A deals. Prior to that, he was in the business planning department of mobile operator One (Austria) where he was part of a team that raised ATS 7.5 bn in debt financing.

Clemens has given classes in financial modelling at the finance institute of the University of Vienna and holds a degree in international business management from that university (specialisation in capital markets).

Wyatt Rosental – “Start-ups: The Early Days”

Wyatt Rosental was previously founder and CEO of Loop Telecom S.L.. Loop was founded in 1998 and Wyatt signed financing deals with equity investors, financial institutions and government that ranked Loop as one of largest telecom deals in 2001. Loop grew to become the second largest DSL service provider in Spain and was sold to a Spanish telecommunications operator in 2002.

Prior to Loop, he worked in various financial positions for Transamerica Financial and Bank of America in Los Angeles, USA, as well as Director of Business Development for Genmedica Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company based in Barcelona, Spain. He was also Director of Operations for Pace Enterprises in Mexico.

Currently, he runs Afora Invest, an investment fund dedicated to the acquisition and management of assets in Bulgaria.
