IO appoints Anneli Jennersjo Lundberg, Director of International Carrier Services at CKH IOD, as the Executive Board Deputy Chair. Anneli has been a dedicated member of the IO Executive Board since its creation in May 2022. In her new role, she will collaborate closely with Executive Board Chair Fred Schepens, CEO of Bayobab Group, to further our collective efforts towards achieving the Roaming Development Goals (RDGs), established by all the board members.
“I believe that the roaming landscape needs to take a leap in development through an even closer, more focused cooperation between network operators. I am convinced that the key is to learn from each other and from other industries, to be unique through innovation in ‘our space’ and to be smart by (re-)using solutions already available even if ‘not invented here’. I am looking forward to leveraging my experience from telco and other industries in order to support this happening.”
Anneli Jennersjo Lundberg
Anneli Jennersjo Lundberg is a senior management leader with over 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. Before joining the telecoms industry, Anneli spent 10 years working in the automotive, agricultural, and defence industries, as well as working for the UN in Geneva. Her roles revolved around the procurement and process side of the business, including the early adoption of IoT-like applications in the agricultural business.
Her passion for commercial and technology then took her into the telecoms arena, where she has remained and has held senior posts in regulation, procurement, and wholesale interconnection & roaming. Following a stint at Telenordia, an early challenger in Sweden in its time, Anneli then moved into consultancy, involved in industry qualitative & quantitative analysis during the dotcom boom.
Missing the buzz of the telecoms industry, in 2001 Anneli took on the role of Head of Carrier Business for the Danish & Swedish CK Hutchison 3 mobile business, responsible for the commercial and operational aspects of wholesale interconnection and roaming. During her 10+ years in the role, roaming became a key driver in the retail and wholesale proposition space. In 2016 Anneli took on the additional role of International Roaming Director for the Hutchison Group, overseeing the coordination of the roaming business across the multiple Hutchison mobile entities. With the continued growth and importance of international roaming, both as a proposition in its own right, but as an enabler for the wider industry (IoT, MVNO, Enterprise, etc.), Anneli was appointed as Group Director, International Carrier Business, part of a team tasked to create a single central CKH Hutchison entity (CKH IOD); responsible for the roaming and carrier wholesale partnerships and commercial strategy.
