About

Stephanie Lynch-Habib is Chief Marketing Officer at GSMA, an association that represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide, uniting more than 750 operators and nearly 400 companies in the broader mobile ecosystem.

The GSMA’s vision is to unlock the power of connectivity so that people, industry and society thrive.

This year, the events were cancelled as result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms Lynch-Habib was already leading a marketing transformation when the organisation found itself facing an unprecedented challenge.

In this session, Stephanie will provide valuable insight on how the marketing function had to adapt, modernise and innovate but the wider strategic and leadership challenges faced by GSMA and how they are future proofing the organisation and reinventing MWC.

Discussion topics include:

• Marketing transformation in the context of organisational restructuring
• Leveraging your assets in a digital world
• Doing more with less
• Innovative online events and networking strategies
