Actalent leader will share best practices for cross-functional fiber project teams

Hanover, Md. (June 12, 2025) – Actalent, a global leader in engineering and sciences services and talent solutions, is pleased to announce that Andrew Bordine, head of Actalent’s Grid Automation practice, will present at the 2025 Utilities Technology Council (UTC) Telecom & Technology Conference on June 19 at 9:10 a.m. in Long Beach, California. The conference brings together hundreds of information and communications technology (ICT) professionals and technology partners.

Bordine’s session will showcase the effectiveness of cross-functional teams for overseeing and executing complex fiber projects. Using practical case studies covering key strategies, challenges, and best practices, he will explain how harnessing expertise from engineering, telecommunications, and project management disciplines enables cross-functional teams to engage in holistic problem-solving and ensure streamlined communication throughout the project lifecycle. Attendees will leave with actionable insights into cultivating effective cross-functional teams within fiber optic infrastructure projects.

“As more utilities engage multiple vendors to meet their project objectives, cross functional teams are increasingly playing a pivotal role in enhancing project efficiency and fostering innovation,” said Bordine. “Setting these teams up for success by following best practices can yield tremendous benefits, and I look forward to sharing examples and recommendations with attendees.”

Bordine has two decades of experience designing, planning and leading electric system programs and software architecture. He directs ongoing efforts to leverage electric grid technology and telecommunication networks to benefit utility providers within the energy sector. Before joining Actalent, he held executive roles in both telecommunications and utility infrastructure companies. Bordine has been named a Public Utility Fortnightly Top 40 innovator.

Actalent’s Grid Automation practice provides customized solutions for everything from new construction for both wired and wireless technologies to legacy asset replacement involving generation, transmission and distribution. The team, composed of diverse technical talent with proven experience, combines a wealth of utilities industry knowledge and expertise with the application of modern telecom technology and protocols.
