The Story

‍Frank Ziller, CTO at Cloud5 Communications, champions a pragmatic, human-centric approach to AI. Instead of chasing hype, Frank focuses on enabling responsible AI use across the organization—from RFP automation to contact center voice AI—while ensuring every technical move follows an evidence-first problem-solving loop. To build these high-performing teams, he prioritizes "people power" over tools, partnering with Revelo to secure the senior talent needed to drive this transformation.

The Vision/Challenge

‍In the communication industry, the risk of "AI islands"—disconnected tools that don't drive cohesive value—is high. Frank’s challenge was to implement a strategy that turns on native AI inside existing platforms while exploring new, fit-for-purpose offerings. He needed senior engineers who could navigate this evidence-first loop, proving the value of AI applications before full-scale deployment, all while maintaining the high-touch service Cloud5 is known for.

The Revelo Partnership

‍Cloud5 Communications leverages Revelo to find product-minded talent that understands the human side of engineering. By tapping into Revelo’s network of 400,000+ vetted engineers, Frank bypassed the high costs and slow cycles of US hiring to secure senior, LatAm-based talent. These nearshore engineers are time-zone aligned and integrate directly into Frank's squads, providing the "people power" necessary to ship responsible AI solutions while Revelo handles payroll and compliance.
