London/Munich, 12th November 2019: Solon Management Consulting has expanded its expertise in the TMT industry with the recent appointment of Gavin Patterson to its senior advisor network. The former CEO of BT and Chairman at Salesforce Europe will be providing insights and advice to Solon clients and teams.
“I am delighted to work with Solon and provide my expertise in the telecom and media sectors,” said Gavin Patterson. “From a strategic and operational perspective, by helping clients understand regulations, infrastructure and operational improvements for the digital era, I would like to make sure they are ready for the future changes that will happen in the industry.”
“Gavin is a highly respected leader and visionary in the TMT industry” said Frederic Huet, Partner at Solon. “His extensive experience in the telecom and media space makes him a powerful addition to our team.
