Telecoms Trailblazers: A Day in the Life of Chris Dyer

Hello, I’m Chris Dyer and I work for Vodafone Business Group Products and Services, leading the edge compute portfolio. The role is global; I work with our markets where the company operates either directly or as a partner.

My job may sound technical, but I am focused on the business side. Working with analysts, I start by assessing opportunities and considering what direction of travel a country or portfolio might be going in, asking: how do we commercialise this? I then create the business case and try to gain investment, almost as if on Dragons Den.
