Mari Nilsson Bjorkman
Industry Lead, Telecom

The extremely fast development and constant change in the telecom industry excites Mari Nilsson Bjorkman. As a self-proclaimed “telecom geek”, Mari thrives on new challenges and exploring new perspectives in a very future oriented industry.

She is encouraged by all good examples she sees of value, insights and support brought on by applying data analytics. This is also reflected in her participation at different industry specific forums, in her blog writings as well as in the webinars she hosts.

Having worked more than 20 years in the industry, she founded her own Telecom Consultancy company in 2011. Before then, she held several different positions within Strategy & Business Development and Sales as Key Account Manager since graduating in 1998 with a degree in International Marketing & Economics.

Today, she applies her knowledge to tasks at SAS where she works as a Global Industry Leader & Marketer for the Communication Industry in the capacity of an advisor supporting C-level discussions and other customer dialogues all over the world.
