As founder and CEO of InsidePacket, Eli Karpilovski is rewriting the economics of how operators deliver connectivity. He founded InsidePacket on a simple conviction: the network is software, and the operator is the platform. That thesis is now in production at Zayo as DynamicLink, earned InsidePacket MEF NaaS Vendor of the Year, and anchors the category that is moving fastest in the industry right now — AI network agents on NaaS.

Eli is one of the loudest voices in that shift. Under his leadership, InsidePacket has built an AI-native NaaS stack where agents — not portals — design topologies, quote services, configure firewalls, run observability, and respond to live traffic in real time. The agent is the new interface; the operator is the new cloud.

His perspective was shaped by leading product and strategy at global tech companies and hyperscalers — and watching, up close, the limits of the hardware-bound model he is now replacing.
