Why I Joined AKKO – Ed Hugener, Head of Cellular and Retail Partnerships
After spending 20 years in wireless, with 12 of those at Asurion, the largest handset insurance provider in the world, I thought I had seen it all. In my time at Asurion, I held a variety of different roles, all related to helping drive insurance sales in wireless retail, building new programs, and launching new products in the Verizon Indirect dealer channel. As an industry veteran, I rarely came across a product that was exciting, new, and a differentiator to shake things up.
