Negocios Magazine has announced that Rafael Olloqui, Co-Founder & CEO of BTS Group, will be among the distinguished business leaders recognized at the 2026 Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards, scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at the EB Hotel Miami. Olloqui will receive the 'International Business Expansion Award,' which honors his entrepreneurial career, leadership, and pivotal role in the growth and international expansion of BTS Group within the ever-evolving telecommunications and technology industry.
Founded in Miami, BTS has established a significant presence in the international communications market for over two decades. Under the leadership of Olloqui and his executive team, the company has evolved from its origins primarily focused on voice solutions. International expansion has been a key pillar of this evolution. Today, BTS Group pursues its strategy through a combination of companies, investments, and partnerships, with operations extending across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The organization maintains its headquarters in Miami, along with a strategic presence in Zaragoza, Spain.
BTS's trajectory reflects the scale of its operations. The company reports that its voice communications solutions manage more than 18 billion minutes annually across more than 180 countries, while continuing to develop technologies related to artificial intelligence, automation, omnichannel communications, and new digital platforms. BTS also maintains a strategic alliance with SoftBank through SBTS, aimed at strengthening its presence and providing technology and communications solutions across the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets.
