RICK
CHANDLER
Board Member EEMA, Expert BT Mobility
Rick has over 30 years broad experience in both the Vendor and User sides of the IT and Telecommunications Industry where he has held Board level positions in several well known companies.
Rick has had a particular interest in Mobility since the mid 1980’s when in 1984 he was asked to give the keynote at the first UK conference on Mobile Computing. The research he did for that still holds good today but the effect of mobility on lifestyle as well as business vastly exceeds the early forecasts.
As e-commerce director of a systems integration company in 1998 he formed an M-commerce unit which grew to a team of 50 building one of the first M-banking services for a major international bank.
Rick joined BT in 2000 to lead a development team building the Genie platform for BT Cellnet (now O2) and has maintained his Wireless and Mobility specialism through various roles with the company.
He is regularly asked to judge international awards in e-Commerce and Wireless which continues to maintain his breadth of industry awareness.
He is also contributing to the UK Government advisory panels for ID Cards, Transformational Government and Cyber security and holds visiting Professor / consultancy relationships with several Universities.
