CENTRAL LONDON, U.K. - March 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Chief executives from leading European telecom and media operators Telefonica, Liberty Global, Altice Group and Iliad will discuss the likely impact of mergers and acquisitions on Europe's rapidly transforming telecom, media and tech sector in the opening panel of TMT M&A Forum 2016 in London on April 14.
Gary Heffernan, a senior managing director in Accenture's Communications, Media & Technology operating group, will chair the TMT Leaders Panel which opens a day of debates on "How transactions are driving change in telecoms, media and tech" for 300 of the leading executives and investors in the sector globally.
"Mergers and acquisitions will begin to transform the telecom, media and tech sector as telecom and media companies reassess business models, enter new digital markets and sell off infrastructure and assets," said Heffernan. "With four of Europe's biggest and most ambitious operators on the panel it will be an interesting opportunity to discuss the impact of consolidation, convergence and regulation on strategy and compare their views on the best structure for a modern digital communications company."
Key speakers on the session are: Angel Vilá Boix, chief strategy and finance officer, Telefónica; Jim Ryan, chief strategy officer, Liberty Global; Thomas Reynaud, chief financial officer and head of business development, Iliad; and Régis Turrini, head of regulation, Govt Affairs, Strategy, Altice Group, and general counsel at Numericable SFR.
