“I first met Ed when he interviewed me for the Strategy role at GSMA in 2014. For the next 6 years, I worked with Ed on a wide range of strategy topics, delivered some truly inspiring insights for GSMA members and travelled around the world together. This included projects on 5G, Industry Radar, IP Comms, Roaming, Ecosystem Strategy, tech/telco innovations & Investments, etc. Our working relationship was very intellectually stimulating, yet practical. Ed's experience meant that he was a mentor, sounding board and sparring partner to me on many occasions. His network in the industry is vast and helped to open doors for many of our projects. His personality is affable and convivial which really helped to nurture friendship in and outside of work. I strongly recommend him.”
