Strategic Leadership Evolution Positions Techbridge for Continued Growth and Lasting Impact

ATLANTA, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Techbridge, a nonprofit technology organization dedicated to helping technology help people, today announced a deliberate and Board-supported leadership transition. Clint Bailey, who has served as Chief Executive Officer, will assume the role of Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. Radhika Subramanian joins Techbridge as Interim Chief Executive Officer, bringing deep technology leadership at a moment when that expertise has never mattered more.

A New Chapter in Leadership
Clint Bailey transitions from CEO to Board Chair at a pivotal moment for Techbridge. In this new capacity, Bailey will focus on board recruitment, governance, fundraising, and cultivating the external relationships that fuel Techbridge’s mission-driven work.

“Techbridge has the products, the mission credibility, and the customer relationships to lead the next wave of technology innovation for the nonprofit sector. Moving into the Board Chair role allows me to focus on governance and external relationships that will fuel our next chapter — and it puts Radhika in the operating seat, where her skills matter most right now. I’m proud of what this organization has built, and I’m genuinely excited about what comes next.”

— Clint Bailey, Chairman of the Board, Techbridge

Introducing Radhika Subramanian as Interim CEO

Subramanian brings more than two decades of technology executive leadership to Techbridge, with a track record of scaling products and organizations in complex, high-stakes environments. She previously served as Managing Director at Protiviti, leading Emerging Business offerings with a focus on ESG strategy, and as Senior Director at Slalom, driving Data Analytics and Digital Strategy for enterprise clients across industries.
Earlier in her career, Subramanian founded and led two technology companies. As CEO of Emcien Corporation, she delivered more than $300 million in ROI for a major airline and earned the prestigious Franz Edelman Award for excellence in Management Science. She holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Critically, Subramanian brings an immediate operational advantage: prior to assuming the CEO role, she spent weeks conducting a comprehensive organizational assessment of Techbridge, working directly with the full leadership team to evaluate products, technology, finances, and market positioning. That foundation enables her to lead with clarity and act with speed from day one — a meaningful differentiation from any traditional CEO hire.

“Techbridge has built something worth fighting for — real products that real nonprofits depend on, a 25-year legacy, and a team that cares deeply about the mission.What my assessment confirmed is that the path forward is clear: focus on our core strengths, build AI-forward capabilities that nonprofits genuinely need, and execute with urgency. I’m honored to lead this organization through this next chapter, and I’m grateful for the trust the Board has placed in me.”

— Radhika Subramanian, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Techbridge

A Deliberate Decision, Fully Supported by the Board
This leadership transition was made with the Board’s full support and reflects Techbridge’s commitment to continuity and thoughtful succession. With a new fiscal year beginning and momentum building across Techbridge’s program areas, the Board determined that this transition positions the organization for sustained impact.

Scott Geller, Techbridge founder and Board member, offered this on the significance of the appointment:

“Techbridge is, at its core, a technology organization — and that means leadership matters in a way that goes beyond the typical nonprofit CEO profile. We are living through a fundamental shift in what technology can do, and AI represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the nonprofit sector to do dramatically more with dramatically less. Radhika is exactly the kind of leader this moment demands: a technologist who has built and scaled real products, who understands how to translate innovation into tangible outcomes, and who can position Techbridge to deliver what nonprofits need right now. This isn’t a caretaker appointment — it’s a strategic one. The Board is fully behind her, and I believe this is one of the most important decisions we’ve made in Techbridge’s 25-year history.”

— Scott Geller, Founder and Board Member, Techbridge

The Board plans to launch a formal search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer in Q4 2026, with the goal of placing Techbridge’s next permanent leader in 2027. Subramanian’s mandate is to build the focused, financially stable, and execution-ready organization that leader will inherit.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

Published

on

By

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
