Syniverse CEO Andrew Davies Joins CTIA Board of Directors
TAMPA, Fla. — Oct. 2, 2023 — Syniverse, "the world's most connected company,"® announces that CEO Andrew Davies has been appointed to CTIA’s Board of Directors. This development comes at a critical juncture as the United States prepares for widespread 5G deployment, a transformative leap that promises to redefine communications technology and necessitates thoughtful regulation.
Davies, Syniverse's CEO since March 2021, brings more than two decades of telecom leadership to the board. He previously held CFO positions at Sprint, VEON, Vodafone, and Verizon Wireless, and his extensive experience in international markets will offer a unique perspective in policy discussions aimed at expanding global connectivity. This is particularly useful to CTIA, a U.S. trade association that advocates for policies that support wireless innovation.
"CTIA and Syniverse have long been partners in shaping the mobile ecosystem, and now we're entering a new era marked by the rollout of 5G networks across the U.S.," said Davies. "Our collaboration extends beyond traditional mobile solutions to address the regulatory complexities and innovation opportunities that 5G presents. Serving on the CTIA board allows us to be at the forefront of policy decisions that will define the next chapter in wireless communications.”
Davies joined Syniverse in June 2020, initially serving as the company's Chief Financial and Administrative Officer before being appointed as CEO. He holds an honors degree in mathematics from London’s Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, is an Associate of the Royal College of Science, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
He currently serves as a Board Member on the Florida Chamber of Commerce and is a Wall Street Journal CEO Council member.
