Franco Bernabe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Telecom Italia Group, has been re-elected as Chairman of the GSMA for another two year term.
Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO, Telenor Group, was elected as Deputy Chairman.
“We are at an important time in the development of the mobile industry – following years of unprecedented growth, we are now faced with new challenges, as well as further growth potential, as we see nearly everyone and everything in our lives becoming connected by mobile. This has implications not only for individuals and businesses around the world, but also for mobile operators and other players across the ecosystem. Together, with Jon Fredrik Baksaas as Deputy Chairman and our Director General Anne Bouverot, I look forward to working with the GSMA Board and our entire membership to renew the innovation that has been the very foundation of the success of GSM and mobile,” stated Mr. Bernabe.
