Telef·nica Tech reinforces its organisational structure with the creation of an Advisory Board, chaired by Jos· Cerd·n (CEO of Telef·nica Tech), which will help to boost the company's organic and inorganic growth and drive the leadership of its value propositions for digital transformation.
This new advisory body is chaired by Jos· Cerd·n, CEO of Telef·nica Tech, and has a total of twelve professionals of recognised prestige and experience in the field of technology. The Telef·nica Tech Advisory Board is made up of four members of Telef·nica's Board of Directors: ·ngel Vil·, CEO of Telef·nica; Ver·nica Pascual, CEO of Asti Technologies Group; Juan Ignacio Cirac, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics; and Claudia Sender.
Also joining the Board are Chema Alonso, Chief Digital Officer at Telef·nica; Mar·a Garc·a-Legaz, Chief of Staff at Telef·nica; Mar·a Jes·s Almazor, CEO of Cyber Security and Cloud at Telef·nica Tech; and Gonzalo Mart·n-Villa, CEO of IoT & Big Data at Telef·nica Tech. Luis Prendes, Telef·nica's Chief Legal Officer, assumes the role of Secretary of the Board.
They are joined by Alejandro Romero, founder and CEO of Alto Analytics and now Chief Operations Officer of Constella Intelligence, which is the result of the merger between Alto Analytics and 4iQ; and Isabel Fern·ndez, PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with expertise in Big Data, IoT and Digital Ethics, and currently Rector at Alfonso X El Sabio University.
The advisory councils are a support mechanism for the governing and management bodies of commercial companies, whose objective is, among others, to accelerate growth and improve the competitiveness of the business sector, to facilitate the presentation of trends, help shape value propositions, contribute innovative ideas, enrich the strategic debate, contribute to the continuous search for reputational improvements and, in any case, contribute to the generation of debates that include the sustainable and profitable transformation of commercial companies.
According to Jos· Cerd·n, CEO of Telef·nica Tech, 'the creation of this high-level Advisory Board confirms the Telef·nica Group's firm commitment to digital business as a vector for the company's strategic growth and is a fundamental step in continuing to accompany our customers in their digital transformation with the best services'.
Telef·nica Tech was born in November 2019 as one of the five pillars of the Telef·nica Group's strategic plan to drive the company's transformation. Currently comprising two divisions (one for the Cloud and Cyber Security businesses and the other focused on IoT, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain), Telef·nica Tech closed the first nine months of the year with a 25.5% increase in revenues and expects to continue with double-digit growth thanks to the opportunity represented by the Telef·nica Group's more than 5.5 million B2B customers.
