Thirty Years Inside the Infrastructure.
Now Working for You.
Bryan Bethea founded 448 Consulting LLC in 2026, the culmination of a three-decade career that ran through every layer of American telecommunications infrastructure, from network operations to numbering administration to CPaaS leadership.
He began in 1994 as a long distance operator at MCI, then built his expertise across wireless, competitive local exchange, cable, and wholesale voice. His early roles included Powertel, Touch 1 Communications, and Network Telephone Corporation, followed by senior leadership positions at Cox Communications, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable. He then joined Inteliquent, where he served first as Senior Director of Numbering and Portability Operations and later as Vice President of Service Delivery, managing the full complexity of number administration, porting operations, and regulatory compliance for one of the country's largest wholesale voice providers.
Bryan's most recent role before founding 448 Consulting was Chief Service Officer at Sinch Voice, one of the world's leading CPaaS platforms, where he led service delivery at the intersection of enterprise messaging, voice, and the carrier ecosystem. He left Sinch in January 2026 to build the consultancy that the IPES provider space has needed for years.
448 Consulting exists because IPES designation and direct numbering authority are achievable for far more providers than currently pursue them, and because the difference between getting it right and getting it wrong is measured in years and significant operational cost. Bryan brings the inside knowledge that makes the difference.
