Today, we all know that our phones are now used for more than just calls and messages. Globally, mobile technology is being used to encourage sustainable business and connect people, but did you know that it is also solving problems in health, finance and agriculture in emerging economies? How does it work, and why are companies doing it? What are the challenges? Christèle Delbé will share her expertise in leading transformative change through innovations in mobile technology.

Christèle joined the Vodafone Group in March 2010 as Head of Sustainability for Enterprise. Her role is to identify and lead the identification, testing and scaling of innovative, sustainability focussed solutions in partnership with Vodafone’s Enterprise customers on a global scale.

Prior to this, Christèle was Head of Sustainability at Orange, having responsibility for developing and implementing the Corporate Responsibility strategy at a Group and later on UK level. Christèle also worked as a consultant for Ethics Quality Management and SustainAbility, advising multi-national businesses on designing and implementing Sustainability programmes.

Christèle holds an MSc in Environmental Management and Policy from the University of Lund in Sweden and a BA in Business Studies from the London South Bank University in the United Kingdom.
