About BeQuick
BeQuick is the OSS/BSS platform that mobile virtual network operators run their businesses on. Founded in 2002 and part of the Banyan portfolio, BeQuick handles the operational core of a wireless carrier: subscriber lifecycle, rating and billing, provisioning and activation, payments and dunning, taxation and regulatory fees, customer care workflows, retail and dealer channels, and the reporting that tells an operator where its margin actually is.
Roughly 30 active MVNO clients depend on the platform daily, including prepaid and postpaid operators, Lifeline providers, faith-based and affinity brands, and enterprise IoT plays. The product suite spans Fusion (core OSS/BSS), Connect (converged billing, including ISPs and WISPs), Orbit (subscriber and dealer portals), Echo (multi-tenant IVR), and Vector.
The team is about 15 people, fully remote, and unusually senior for its size. BeQuick has been an early and aggressive adopter of agentic AI in engineering, support, and commercial work, and is recognized inside the Banyan portfolio for it.
This is a switching-cost business in the truest sense. Customers do not casually replace the system that bills their subscribers. That durability is real, and it comes with an obligation: the platform has to keep up with carrier requirements, regulatory change, and what operators now expect software to do for them.
The Opportunity
You would own the whole business: strategy, product direction, go-to-market, team, and P&L. You report to a Banyan Operating Partner and have full operational authority over how you run the company day to day.
The mandate:
Who You Are
You have run a P&L in telecom, and you know this market from the inside. You have sat on the operator side of an MVNO agreement, or built the systems that make one work, and you can tell the difference between a wholesale deal that looks good and one that actually clears.
You are technical enough to be dangerous, but you are not here to write code. You can read an API spec, interrogate a data model, hold your own in a carrier integration call, and tell when an engineering estimate is optimistic. You have a Head of Development and a strong engineering team. You need to lead them, not do their jobs.
You are comfortable being the primary commercial voice: negotiating your own MSAs and renewals, walking into a carrier's supplier review, and presenting to a board without a chief of staff assembling the deck for you.
And AI is not a slide in your strategy deck. It has already changed how you think about where value comes from and what your product should become.

Why a Banyan Operating Company
A permanent home, not a portfolio play. Banyan buys, holds, and grows software companies for life, and never resells. No three-to-five-year clock, and no pressure to optimize for an exit at the expense of long-term value.
Autonomy with backing. How you run the business is your call. Banyan provides capital, shared services, and a network of operating partners, and does not dictate how you build your team, price your product, or run go-to-market.
A peer network. A community of portfolio company CEOs working the same problems: AI adoption, product-led growth, talent density, and durable recurring revenue in specialized markets.
Legacy and continuity. Banyan preserves the brand, identity, and culture of the companies it acquires. You are building on a foundation that will be protected, not consolidated or stripped for parts.
