Slowing Down Covid - One IP at a Time with Staffan Göjeryd

There isn’t a cloud, social media, or any other online service without the world being connected, In fact we don’t have to imagine what it would be like to experience a pandemic if we couldn’t work remote or maintain social distancing – history is full of such stories. Staffan Göjeryd , CEO at Telia Carrier joins me from Sweden as he explains how tech is helping to slow down the virus, and what could be next, on the next QTS Experience.

About our Guest:

Staffan Göjeryd was appointed CEO of Telia Carrier in August 2016. Having started at Telia Company at a time when a 14k modem was considered high tech, he has since helped drive Telia Carrier to its position as the world’s leading global backbone. His focus on customer excellence and delivering exceptional quality to Telia Carrier’s customers are just two of the areas that have taken him on this literal journey from the trenches to high command. Despite knowing all there is to know about connectivity, Staffan’s main interest is what customers actually do with it. Having seen the repeated cycles of Internet boom and bust, he knows it takes more than belief and adrenaline to build a successful business. Staffan has held technical and customer-facing roles within Telia Company in both Europe and North America. These include Director of Network Planning and head of Telia Carrier´s Data and Infrastructure business. He holds a Bachelor in Business Administration from Linköping University and is an accomplished golfer – a hobby currently taking second place to his kids. source: https://www.teliacarrier.com/about-us/management.html#section-1
