Ilham Seyidnurov, Former IT Department Director at Azercell, Azerbaijan's leading mobile operator, walks through two decades in IT and telecom, from developer and software tester to co-founder of Azerbaijan's first software testing company, SOTEQA, to leading IT at one of the country's biggest operators.

In this episode, Ilham explains what digital transformation actually means (and what it doesn't), why he compares AI to VAR in football, how autonomous network operations can free people for higher-value work, and what he learned about leading teams that can solve problems without waiting for the boss. A grounded conversation about technology, leadership, and keeping control while moving fast.
