largest region.
Pinkham's appointment to the newly established position of Vice
President, Corporate Affairs and Communications in North America,
reflects the focus on enhancing communication with key important
stakeholders such as media, industry associations, investors,
regulators, legislators and analysts.
Pinkham has more than 30 years of experience in the
telecommunications industry of which he spent the past 20 years
with Ericsson in various key positions. Most recently he advised
Ericsson's Executive Management with regards to investor and
analyst relations. He will be based in Washington DC.
"As the largest supplier of technology and services to network
operators worldwide, Ericsson is a key partner for increasing
broadband penetration for the associated societal and economic
benefits," said Angel Ruiz, head of Ericsson's North American
operations. "Gary Pinkham has a broad and unique blend of telecom
and business experience to share with this group of influential
constituencies."
"I am looking forward to working collaboratively with industry
stakeholders and government leaders to discuss a wide variety of
industry and technology topics, such as broadband, spectrum and ICT
sustainability initiatives," said Pinkham.

industry analysts in North America will be covered from New York
