CSMG Board of Advisors

The CSMG Board of Advisors is made up of industry executives and prominent thought leaders who engage in discussion and debate on the telecom, technology and digital media sectors. The Board of Advisors provides guidance to CSMG's management on emerging marketplace developments; their experience and insight shape strategic debate across the convergence landscape and provide tactical insights for even the most progressive companies.

The CSMG Board of Advisors convenes twice a year to:

Engage in discussion on the telecom, technology and digital media sectors
Share experiences on the disruptions companies face as these sectors co-evolve
Jointly anticipate how each, collectively and individually, must adapt to succeed
Forge a blueprint for success and spark new intra- and inter-industry dialogues

The Board of Advisors serves as a "lighthouse" for CSMG by identifying "early warning signals" that become platforms for new ideas and service offerings.
