Adlane Fellah, MBA, President and CEO of the company founded Maravedis in July 2002. After holding various positions at Harris Corporation heading market intelligence and business development for several product lines, Adlane saw a hole in this new ecosystem, a clear lack of knowledgeable and specialized analysts capable understanding the stake of broadband wireless and offering high value market research and analysis for a promising emerging industry that was about to explode.

Maravedis, a Montreal Based Company providing Research and reports for the Broadband Wireless Industry was created. As the demand is growing, Maravedis needed to increase his team. Today, Maravedis employs 10 talented analysts and researchers putting their strengths together to provide the best data, understanding and analysis available in the Broadband Wireless Industry.
