TeleManagement Forum elects Tribold's Catherine Michel as Advisor to Board
15 May 2006
London, 15 May, 2006 – Catherine Michel, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of UK-based product lifecycle management software applications provider,Tribold, has been unanimously elected as Advisory Director to the TeleManagement (TM) Forum Board of Directors.
Advisory Directors are able to strongly influence the direction of TM Forum through membership of board committees and via the strategic planning process, covering areas such as finance and business planning for TM Forum, membership and board development, technology issues and telecom operations issues. Although Advisory Directors cannot vote, they provide the TM Forum Board, and where appropriate its staff, with expertise and experience that will enrich the decisions of the organisation.
Michel, who will commence her role in April 2006 for one year, brings more than ten years telecoms experience, including senior executive at Accenture’s Communications and High Tech practice, to the role of Advisory Director. She is a speaker at many telecoms conferences worldwide.
“It’s an honour to be recognised by the TeleManagement Forum and to be able to provide my experience towards its future direction,” Michel said. “The telecommunications market is fast-evolving and to play a part in helping positively direct its development is an exciting challenge.”
Keith Willetts, Chairman of the TeleManagement Forum, said that the addition of Catherine Michel to the Advisory Board would further strengthen the Forum at a time when leadership was essential. “The TeleManagement Forum represents the interests of a very wide range of companies in the telecommunications sector, from operators, equipment suppliers, software companies and systems integrators, to consultants from most regions and countries around the world. To ensure that the TM Forum is able to be in touch with the trends, pressures and needs of that diverse membership, it has seen the benefit of utilising the expertise and experience of Advisors to its board of directors. Catherine has exactly the attributes we are looking for from our advisors to carry the TM Forum forward at a challenging time for the market,” he said.
Catherine Michel will be speaking at TeleManagement World in Nice on the subject of ‘Transforming the operational reality around product and service innovation’. She will speak at 10:45 on Wednesday, 17 May, as part of TeleManagement World’s Billing sessions.
