Industry Veteran Brings Decades of Strategic Partnership and Business Development Expertise
York, PA (January 7, 2026) – Wifinium, a provider of critical, commercial-grade connectivity solutions, is proud to announce the appointment of Karl Burns as Chief Commercial Officer. In this pivotal leadership role, Burns is leveraging his extensive business development and go-to-market strategy experience in the telecommunications field to advance Wifinium’s mission to deliver innovative, turn-key managed network solutions.
Wifinium CEO Kerem Bolukbasi commented on the appointment: “Karl’s ability to translate complex insights and market dynamics into actionable business plans is exactly what Wifinium needs as we continue to expand customer relationships. His history of driving significant revenue growth and managing global engagements will be a massive asset to our team and our partners alike.”
Burns transitions to Wifinium after a successful tenure at CommScope, where he focused on building and launching new businesses within the managed connectivity space. Prior to joining Wifinium, Burns held several key leadership roles, most notably as Director of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development at Boingo Wireless, where he managed telecommunications infrastructure projects for “Big 3” carriers. He also served as IoT Solutions Leader at T-Mobile, where he secured the largest contract in the group’s history.
Beyond these roles, Burns has a proven track record as a consultant, having led business strategy for a technology group’s most successful product introduction and implementing processes for a large retailer that increased earnings by more than $3 million in its first year. His global perspective is shaped by leading high-impact engagements across the US, Germany, Brazil, Singapore, India, Mexico, Spain, and Great Britain.
“I am beyond excited to join Wifinium and contribute to the innovative work this impressive team is doing in the connectivity space,” said Burns regarding his new role. “Wifinium’s OEM-agnostic flexibility and its ability to integrate seamlessly into an organization’s existing processes, rather than requiring a total infrastructure overhaul, makes us a uniquely agile partner for complex environments.”
Since joining Wifinium, Burns has already helped secure a critical public sector WiFi project and is currently collaborating on a large-scale public venue deployment scheduled for 2026.
