Join in this essential conversation—with five female leaders from EPAM, Ericsson UK & Ireland, Colt and Three UK.

How can digital transformation initiatives focusing on sustainable improvements help drive the industry to a digital and connected future?

Hosted on February 28th at the MWL Broadcast Studio, Hall 4, the panel of senior telco leaders will debate key overarching industry themes, such as sustainability and the telco agenda. Senior executives from EPAM Systems, Colt, Ericsson and Three UK will discuss how emerging technologies, such as AI, ML, IoT and edge computing, can enable the monetization of telcos’ strategic investments in 5G while focusing on energy efficiency and network security. The panel will include:

Keri Gilder – CEO, Colt
Katherine Ainley – CEO, Ericsson UK & Ireland
Belinda Finch – CIO, Three UK
Alix Burge – Head of Telecom Consulting, EPAM
Elaina Shekhter – Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, EPAM – Moderator
“The maturity and commercialization of 5G will continue to drive telco leaders’ decisions to address the evolving needs of enterprises and consumers sustainably,” said Elaina Shekhter, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, EPAM. “Leveraging MWC 2023 as an influential industry platform, our executive panel will bring together some of the industry’s top leaders to discuss sustainability and how technologies like 5G and AI can help drive new revenue growth.”
