The Secretary General of the United Nations has given us all a big task, to create: “an inclusive, open, free and secure digital future for all." This starts by ensuring that people everywhere are able to access, afford, and properly use today's digital tools. This morning, I spoke at the OSPOs for Good conference at the United Nations about the ways connectivity and digital inclusion are essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The UN is the one global platform that can bring people from around the world to work together. Cross-sector and cross border collaboration can help us overcome the obstacles of accessibility, affordability and usability that keep people from getting the most benefits from technology. We can work together through the UN to push society forward. #OSPOsForGood2024 #SustainableDevelopment

I woke up this morning more ready than ever to start the day! Verizon’s next chapter is here, introducing a refreshed brand identity that meets us where we already are. It reflects the energy and innovation happening here at Verizon, where we never stop pushing the industry and ourselves to deliver more. This refresh highlights all the ways that we power and empower how people live, work and play. Along with a new look, we’re introducing new ways to continue putting all of our customers in the driver’s seat: - myHome, an extension of our myPlan offering, gives Fios and Verizon Home Internet customers more choice, control and value - Verizon Access, a platform offering premium experiences for sports and entertainment that you can’t get anywhere else - Guaranteed phone trade-in, a program where no matter the condition of your device, we have you covered - Verizon Business Complete, an industry-first smartphone management solution that gives all businesses flexibility and peace of mind Our new branding reflects our company’s history as well as its future. This could not have been done without Leslie Berland, who came to the V Team with a vision, and led our fantastic Marketing team and agency partners to refresh our look in a way that matches the vibrance Verizon brings to all aspects of people's lives. Great job, Leslie and team! Our next chapter is a continuation of our journey of service and innovation - building for our customers’ needs at every turn.

Last week at the Future Talent Summit in Sweden, Geoff Colvin of Fortune Magazine and I discussed all the ways Verizon is using AI to move our business forward, but also to move society forward. For us, it all starts with the network - which is powering the spread of #AI throughout the economy and society. At the same time, we know that our customers want personalization, and AI will enable us to give them more choices and even better service. We are developing and deploying AI solutions for our customers to help them get the most value from our network and the services we offer. It was great to share the work Verizon is doing at #FTCSummit with a room full of international leaders and changemakers, and even better to do so in one of the most innovative and inclusive cities in the world... Stockholm!

Moments like this remind me that our V Team is the best in the business! Verizon won big this week at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for our ‘Can’t B Broken’ collaboration with Beyoncé during the Super Bowl. The campaign secured a Gold Lion for the best musical collaboration and branded content. This award exemplifies the hard work and creativity of the V Team and our partners 🙌🏻 Congratulations to Leslie Berland and the entire Verizon Marketing team, as well as our partners at Ogilvy for this amazing recognition!

I am excited to be a part of a global lineup of speakers this week at Future Talent Summit 2024 in Stockholm. This event gathers experts and leaders from across the world to collaborate on #AI strategies, trends and applications. I'll be speaking with Geoff Colvin of Fortune Magazine about using AI to gain a competitive advantage while moving society forward. Looking forward to a great conversation with Geoff!

It's been a great week in my home country of Sweden at #BrilliantMinds 2024. I spend a lot of time talking about tech innovation, but this week I had the pleasure of talking about self-innovation and the idea of becoming. I was joined on stage by Hockey Hall of Famer Henrik Lundqvist and Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn who both shared the ways they have evolved as people over their incredibly successful careers. We discussed the power of self-assessment and the importance of pursuing work that energizes you. Such an inspiring conversation with two people I’m lucky to call friends!

If it were up to me, every student across the world would receive education and access to the latest technology in order to set them up for success in our ever evolving digital world. That is exactly what Verizon Innovative Learning is working towards.
