The GSMA has re-elected the chairman and CEO of Orange Group, Stephane Richard, as GSMA board chair. The Association has elected the executive vice-president and chief strategy officer of Verizon, Rima Qureshi, as GSMA board deputy chair. Both appointments are for the two years from January 2021 through December 2022.

In his role of GSMA chair, Richard will continue to oversee the strategic direction of the GSMA, with the support of Qureshi, as deputy chair.
