Mike Fries joins board of the GSMA
Our CEO, Mike Fries, has been elected as a member of the GSMA Board of Directors for a two-year term, beginning in 2025. He is among 26 members of the Board made up of senior representatives from global mobile operators as well as smaller independent operators.
As a major telecoms operator with companies in six European markets, we look forward to continuing to work closely with the GSMA in a range of areas, from network innovation to digital policy.
The GSMA Board has also elected José María Álvarez-Pallete López, as Chair, and Gopal Vittal as Deputy Chair. As GSMA Chair, Álvarez-Pallete López will oversee the strategic direction of the organisation, which represents the world’s mobile operators and companies in the broader mobile ecosystem.
Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA, said: “The industry is going through rapid change, driven by advances in technology, digital transformation, and the rise of AI. It is a very exciting time to be part of this transformation, and I am confident that with the leadership of the Chair and our Board, the GSMA is well-positioned to successfully continue to advocate for our members and achieve our goals”.
