Most influential women in mobile
Last year we compiled a list of the most influential people in the mobile industry. It was a fascinating exercise, and one that proved controversial in places. But perhaps the most interesting thing about the list was who wasn’t on it. Of the 40 people included, only one was female. Clearly there are very few women occupying the most senior positions within the companies that make up the industry.
And that got us thinking. If the top jobs are dominated by men, who are the most senior women in the industry, and what are their jobs?
Telecoms.com and Mobile Communications International magazine are setting out to find the most influential women in the mobile industry – and we want your help. We already have an idea of some of the women who we’ll be profiling but we’re pretty sure you’ll have ideas of your own, and we want to hear them.
