Who is NEXA Mobile? They are a Miami-based company that designs enterprise mobility solutions. Robert Morcos the CEO and Founder, started NEXA Mobile 14 years ago without any investment into one of the fastest-growing tech companies in America. Today, they’re working with iconic partners like Google, MediaTek, and T-Mobile to provide enterprise-grade solutions for some of the world’s biggest brands. Why enterprise mobility? Almost every industry is evolving and adopting new digital technologies. From telehealth and remote patient monitoring to self-serve kiosks in fast-food restaurants – the need for mobility solutions is growing. Companies like Social Mobile are fueling this transformation, and from my conversations with Robert and his team… they are a leader in this space. #transformation #NEXAmobility #advisoryboard #enterprisemobility
