Roles: CEO – EE and Consumer Division at BT Group: Leading EE, BT and Plusnet

As head of three of the UK’s leading communications brands, BT, EE and Plusnet – as well as BT Sport – Marc is ultimately responsible for more than 30m customer connections. Under Marc’s leadership, BT Consumer has a purpose of Connecting for Good and an unprecedented range of new products, services and skills programmes for everyone in the UK.

A priority for Marc is to ensure BT does all it can to connect those who need it most. That includes offering unlimited data to frontline NHS workers, free connectivity to children so they can keep up with their education and Home Essentials, a low-cost fibre package for as many as 4.6m families on means-tested benefits across the UK. Marc is driving the rollout of the next generation of technology: 5G. EE was the first UK operator to launch 5G, creating a faster, more reliable mobile experience even in the busiest locations. 5G from EE is now live in more than 160 cities and large towns and is consistently named the UK’s number 1 mobile network – as well as being its largest and best 4G network. Marc is also leading BT into a new chapter in its convergence journey with Halo 3+, a UK first for hybrid network technology.

Previously, Marc was CEO and, before that, COO of EE. In 10 years at Three, he was a driving force behind their growth from start-up to a major player in the mobile market.
