Leo A. Wrobel's talent for exploiting changes in laws, technology and regulations has earned him broad acceptance and widespread acclaim spanning a 40 year career. 

Leo pioneered carrier co-location when he built the first computer disaster recovery center in a telephone office in 1986. (nostalgic video here) He was the flrst in Texas to run telephone traffic over a cable televisions system. He has brokered numerous multi-million dollar partnerships between Fortune 1000 clientele and ILEC, CLEC and independent telephone companies. One partnership between a $14 billion manufacturing client and two of the nation's largest ILECS resulted in the largest telecommunications network ever installed in Texas up to that date, including all regulatory approvals.

Leo was the first in the USA to receive unbundled telecom pricing for one of his clients, a $76 billion diversified financial services company in 1995 - the year before the Telecommunications Act of 1996 became federal law. In 1997 he founded his own CLEC which was the first in the US to become certified in all 50 states, even before such names as AT&T and Verizon.

He is the author of 12 books and over 1600 trade articles in the course of his career. He has lectured in most of the 50 states and overseas in locations such as Santiago Chile, Tel Aviv Israel, and as a guest speaker for the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. 

A former Mayor and City Councilman, Leo has been Chairman and CEO of the Leo A. Wrobel Companies since 2004. His companies include TeILAWCom Labs Inc. FailSafe Communications Inc. and the Network and Systems Professionals Association. He has been, and continues to be, an Expert Witness in complex technology disputes and regulatory complaints, having been involved in over 100 such proceedings since 1997. He is an honorably discharged Vietnam Era (Air Force) veteran and served three years in Japan.

Leo has written disaster recovery plans and designed disaster recovery systems for dozens of Fortune 100 companies in the airline, manufacturing, education, financial services and government services industries. For more information see IeowrobeI.com.
