Q. What was your contribution to SwissCom and how would you like to contribute to the Global Telecom Wholesale Industry?
Augusto Pellegrini, former head of SwissCom Wholesale Global Sales, says:
“I was head of Swisscom wholesale, and helped to restructure the global wholesale divisions into a centralized structure, managing over $675M of revenues. A great experience which led the foundation for the merger of Swisscom and Belgacom into BICs. My experience taught me to understand the needs of Tier1 Wholesale Operators. How would I like to further contribute to the Global Wholesale Market? By solving a universal need of Working Capital. Finance and Telecom need to merge further. Traditional Finance does not understand Wholesale because it is digital. Lenderwize helps Finance to better understand this Digital World. Our mission is to help the Wholesale Industry to grow by providing Working Capital - Bigger, Cheaper and Faster sources of funding”
Q. What is Lenderwize’s Supply Chain Financing solution for Tier1 Operators?
Augusto Pellegrini, cofounder Lenderwize , says:
“We have been approached by several Tier1 Operators and asked to provide a Deep Supply Chain Financing model. This means becoming a single source partner for the Tier1 Operator, extending their payment terms to suppliers, financing their suppliers with faster payment terms. The advantage to the Tier1 Operator? It reduces their internal admin costs, reducing risks and creating greater liquidity within the Supply Chain. Suppliers receive greater Working Capital and negotiate better terms with their sub suppliers, increasing their margins. Lenderwize’s Tier1 Supply Chain financing is truly a win-win-win solution, where everyone benefits. The model works for Tier 1 operators, Incumbants, (former) PTTs and all large Telecom Operators which want to exploit Lenderwize’s Innovative Blockchain Platform and our significant Funding Capacity dedicated to Telecom, and our flexible solutions offered in a totally reserve manner”.

Q. How does Lenderwize’s unique Invoice Marketplace work?
