Sidney Grant, Founder and President of GRANT & GRANT manages all Telecommunications and Information Technology engagements.

Information Technology and Telecommunications

Sidney Grant began his career in telecommunication in 1983 after the divestiture of AT&T. He held various management roles of increasing responsibility with a large long distance telephone provider.

In 1991 Mr. Grant turned his attention toward the rapidly growing wireless communication industry. He accepted a management opportunity to redesign and manage all functions of the Billing and Information Systems Support department for Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc. (CellurONE). He continued to increase his responsibilities to include directing all activities for billing, rating, roaming, payment remittance, lockbox administration, fraud prevention, technical support, software application support and Vanguard’s User Help Desk.

Mr. Grant served on the CTIA Cybernet Committee, the governing body that set technical and billing standards for the wireless industry from 1992 to 1999. He has also served on several other telecommunication committees.

Vanguard continued to experience incredible growth and Mr. Grant was asked to develop a Contract and Vendor Management department which was responsible for negotiating contracts and managing vendor relationships for Vanguard’s operations. Mr. Grant’s negotiations resulted in enhanced service from vendors and an 50 percent average reduction in expenses. In 1998 Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc. was acquired by AT&T Wireless. Mr. Grant was asked to develop and manage the Contracts and Vendor Management Department for AT&T’s National Data Centers Operations until 2001. While serving in this capacity Mr. Grant mediated settlement of numerous vendor disputes for AT&T and negotiated contracts to save AT&T Wireless over $100,000,000 annually.

Mr. Grant provides direct supervision of all Telecommunications and Technology engagements for Grant & Grant. His significant experience managing telecommunication and Information Technology teams and operations brings a practical working knowledge of the telecommunications industry that outside consultants don’t have. Not only can Mr. Grant identify non-compliance issues but by having worked in the industry he can offer best practices for improved efficiency and effectiveness.

Physician: Not every healthcare professional is blessed with both skills in the healing arts and the business acumen to make those skills financially viable in the minefield of todays healthcare environment. It is a happy practitioner who recognizes the mismatch of their skills, and who seeks a professional from the business world to help them navigate their course.

Corporate CEO: Sid Grant is tenacious in his ability to extract the true motivational forces for his clients' need to make changes, and helps the client to develop goals that really reflect what they want out of their life. As you get busy and start to drift away from these goals, he guides you back to the big picture. In one business meeting I received coaching on the right computer software for me to do book keeping, two referrals to professionals needed to advise me with money management and lastly, was informed that I needed to go off and have a massage as I was moving my neck stiffly.
