A little over two years ago, I wrote about the Canadian telecommunications sector losing ground on diversity in the executive ranks.
As an industry, we have seen considerable progress since then, evidenced by the agenda for The 2013 Canadian Telecom Summit, taking place June 3-5 in Toronto.
This year’s event will feature 3 women in keynote speaking roles, including past recipient of the “Woman of the Year” title from Canadian Women in Communications, Karen Sheriff (President & CEO of Bell Aliant). She is joined by Qualcomm’s Peggy Johnson and IBM’s Sandy Carter.
