Hello
I’m Michelle Burgad Your Trusted Telecom Pro!
"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." -Tony Robbins
My Journey
Telecom doesn’t have to be complicated — that’s where I come in. I specialize in helping medium to enterprise-sized businesses cut their telecom costs (often by 20% to 50%) while improving performance and reliability. With access to over 200+ carriers worldwide — including Comcast, RingCentral, TalkDesk, and DyoPath — I match you with the right solutions to keep your business running seamlessly.
Here’s the best part: I work for you, not the carrier. My job is to do the heavy lifting — writing RFPs, negotiating contracts, and overseeing implementation — so you can focus on running your business. And because I leverage the buying power of Fortune 100 and 500 companies, I can usually secure rates and terms you simply won’t get on your own.
At the end of the day, I love what I do: solving problems, saving money, and helping businesses like yours thrive. And if you’re curious, I offer a no-cost, no-risk audit so you can see exactly where the opportunities are.
Let’s find out how much simpler (and smarter) your telecom can be.
