She brings nearly two decades of experience advising technology companies, telecoms operators and vendors and digital ecosystem players on the forces shaping the TMT industry landscape. Her work spans small and medium business (SMB) AI and digital adoption and usage, telco cloud and network transformation, and emerging‑technology opportunity assessment - including areas such as LEO satellite and AI.

Stela blends analytical rigour and primary‑research insight with a deep understanding of the TMT industry, helping clients cut through noise and focus on what truly creates impact.
More than anything else, Stela deeply cares about the people she works with: she’s striving to be an empathetic, supportive leader who listens, understands the pressures her clients and teammates face and creates an environment where both feel empowered and supported.
At Baringa, Stela is a Partner in our TMT team, leading our work across technology and digital infrastructure and contributing deep expertise in strategy and go‑to‑market design for both big tech and mid‑market technology firms.
Beyond her client work, she is a committed advocate for women in technology and consulting, helping to broaden access and strengthen pathways into the industry.
