"My wow moment hasn’t happened yet — and that’s what keeps me moving!" 🌟
— Mila Budylo, Chief Commercial Officer at BSG, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal
From lecturing in linguistics to leading one of the industry’s most prominent A2P hubs…
From juggling three jobs in Ukraine just to make ends meet…
To stepping — almost by accident — into telecom, and never looking back…
This is the story of Mila Budylo: fearless, vibrant, and impossible to miss (just look for the brightest hair in the room 💜💗💙)!
In this episode of Humans of Telecom, Mila opens up about:
🌍 Growing up and working in Western Ukraine during wartime, and the resilience it takes to keep building
📡 Navigating 19 years in telecom — from branded content to SMS, alternative messaging, AI voice & beyond
💡 Why her most “wow” career moment is still to come
🐕 Finding calm in mountain walks with her three quirky Chinese-crested dogs
🎬 Her second life as a movie blogger with 80k followers
🎉 And why she embraces color, rebellion, and a little irreverence in everything she does
Mila’s journey is a reminder that telecom isn’t just about connections between devices — it’s about courage, joy, humor, and the human drive to keep showing up.
