Mobile Europe is delighted to announce the CTOs (and their teams) recognised as this year’s Trailblazer and Gamechanger
The winners of Mobile Europe’s CTO of the Year Awards are Jose Pedro Nascimento, CTO at Altice Portugal in the Gamechanger category and Colin Bannon, CTO of BT Global in the Trailblazer category.
Obviously entries to the Awards are confidential but we’re not letting too many cats out of the bag by saying that Jose Pedro’s entry was chosen for his team’s innovation on both the IT (BSS/OSS) and Network sides.
BT’s Global Fabric is new type of infrastructure and configuration that takes leaps forward in terms of architecture, efficiency, sustainability and resilience – and is why Colin Bannon and his team were chosen.
The winners were announced by Oleg Volpin, Division President: Europe, Telefonica Global & Network Solutions WW at Amdocs, which kindly sponsored the Awards. The winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges.
