After six months of profiling, researching and voting, we are delighted to announce the winner of the 2018 Mobile Person of the Year – Marc Allera, CEO of EE and BT Consumer.
During the past 12 months, Marc’s remit has been expanded to cover not just EE but also overseeing BT Consumer. Both divisions have enjoyed successful years, with EE maintaining its position as the UK’s largest mobile network, both in terms of coverage and number of subscribers, and are bright spots for the wider BT Group.
When you already top the lists, it can be tempting to rest on your laurels, but Marc has overseen the expansion of the EE network with a focus on landmass coverage, new retail and customer service initiatives, and is helping BT and EE establish themselves as leaders in convergence with new products launched last month.
Convergence is a trend that will not only transform BT and EE, but the whole industry. The expansion of his role is testament to the faith placed in him by BT and the focus on improvement through customer experience and innovation is why Marc is our Person of the Year
