Most importantly, I'm excited for Lara to be part of the GSMA leadership team, and I very much look forward to our continued collaboration."

Ms. Dewar commented, "I am truly humbled and excited to lead the team that is responsible for marketing one of the most prestigious convening events for business and policymakers. I'm also looking forward to amplifying the other core activities of the GSMA like deepening the understanding of the importance of connectivity, and mobile technology's power to strengthen economies and enhance lives. This technology enables limitless possibilities, and with it comes a responsibility to continue reimagining how to ensure that everyone benefits, and no one is left out, reducing the usage gap."
