Thomas Forte
Founder & Principal
Thomas brings 29 years of hands-on experience helping communication providers navigate complex operational and regulatory landscapes. His work spans billing systems, compliance frameworks, and cloud migration — the infrastructure decisions that define whether a provider scales or stalls.
Before founding Red Jacket Solutions, Thomas held executive positions where he advised over 1,000 communication providers, developing a pattern-recognition ability for the challenges that slow companies down and the interventions that unlock momentum.
His approach is direct: understand the business from the inside, identify the highest-leverage changes, and execute alongside the team rather than handing over a slide deck.

Embedded partnership with your leadership team to identify friction, prioritize change, and build internal capability.
How we work
We embed with your team to understand the real operational picture — not the one in the board deck. This means time with the people who run your systems, not just the people who commissioned them.
Telecom operators face dozens of urgent demands. We identify the two or three changes that create the most leverage and build a focused execution plan around them.
Strategy without implementation is a document. We stay through execution, working alongside your team until the changes are operational and producing results.
