Areas of Expertise:

Background Experience - In 1986 Mr. Wrobel built the first Computer Disaster Recovery Center inside a telephone office. In 1987, he was the first in Dallas to run telephone traffic over the cable television system. He brokered a Master Services Agreement in 1995 between the largest employer in North Texas (Texas Instruments) and the two largest incumbent telephone companies (Southwestern Bell and GTE). His effort included lobbying Texas Public Utility Commissioners and various congressmen to create what was at that time the largest capacity network to an end user in Texas. Later that same year, he leveraged a 1995 Texas law to secure “unbundled” telecommunications pricing for his $70 Billion diversified financial services client. This was the first time in the USA an end user received unbundled pricing, a full year before the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 was passed!

In 1997 Leo founded a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier that became the first to be certified in all 50 U.S. states. Leo signed up several marquis customers for the CLEC in the Airline, Finance, Services, Education, and Government Markets before returning to private practice and the Leo A. Wrobel Companies in 2004. 

Leo has been a guest speaker in most of the 50 states, Canada, Tel Aviv, Santiago Chile, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He has appeared on television news programs. Today, the Leo A. Wrobel Companies include TelLAWCom Labs Inc., FailSafe Communications, Inc., and the Network and Systems Professionals Association.
