Yesterday we released Boldyn Networks 2024 sustainability report « unlocking the power of an interconnected future: driving sustainable change together » Very pleased to see the notable progress we made in the last year against the 40 ESG targets we focus on. What is even more pleasing and important is the interest and passion from the people in Boldyn to take actions every day and make a difference. Through the development of connectivity in public transport systems around the world we are also making public transport better, safer and more attractive. We all know that travelling by train or subway for example reduces CO2 emissions by 73% compared to a car journey. More below and please join us in building a sustainable future. 👇

Another important milestone achieved by the Boldyn Networks teams.

Although I feel slightly older than this, we, at Boldyn Networks, are 1 today! One year since we launched officially our new brand across all our operations. One year of pride for what we have delivered for our customers. Deploying connectivity in 100s of places around the world: stadiums, entertainment complexes, venues, airports, wind farms, tube stations, tunnels, hospitals, military bases, universities, cities, ports, mines, real estates, factories, large events and a lot more. One year of delivering some of the most exciting and challenging projects like what we do in the London Underground. One year of making a difference to people’s life in Sunderland or New York or living in wind farms or military bases across US and Europe. One year of winning iconic projects like the Roma Capitale. One year during which we also added 2 fantastic businesses to the company with the acquisition of Cellnex’s private networks in Europe and Apogee in the US. Thank you to all our customers, partners and all Boldyn Networks people for these achievements and an incredible year. More below 👇 https://lnkd.in/e4Seecyn

The month that was…. At the end of last year, I made a ‘risky’ commitment to crafting a weekly internal round-up for our teams summarising business developments, activities, reflections, or leadership insights from my perspective. This was inspired by an old colleague of mine, Ashish Chowdhary, who used to do this at Nokia and for whom I have immense respect and friendship. I did not tell him I was posting this today! Now in month five of the year I’m taking the bold step of sharing those insights with all of you in my network. So here you go, with a few of my personal pictures. So what has the last month brought…. - Interesting reads and a podcasts - The start of our connectivity project in Rome - The acquisitions in private networks and education - A tour of hidden London - So much more… Have a read and I hope you’ll find these articles both valuable and interesting. And as long as you continue to engage with them, I’ll keep writing and sharing!

Another (3rd) amazing episode with Mo Gawdat at the The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett. The first one probably remains the best ever for me but this is worth every minute of the nearly 3hrs. Talks about stress, becoming instressable, work life balance, what’s really important, Love & relationship, setting Limits, productivity and prioritisation, AI, Family, and much more …life basically. So much wisdom and yes easier said than done but worth reflecting and acting on it. Can’t wait for my new book to arrive next week!
