The Modebreakers team

Born well before the days of the internet and mobile phone Georgina Elrington is a little bit too fascinated with pushing the technology vision just that bit beyond what it is now. It might sometimes be fanciful, it might sometimes be ridiculous, or even realistic and logical. She follows topics at enterprise level covering: remote working, business and digital transformation, machine learning, RPA, cybersecurity, AI, remote comms on the fly, and the IIoT. With more than two decades of tech industry experience she has been publishing, researching and writing for some of the world’s most respected companies, technology publications and boutique analyst houses.

And when not at one of her various WFA setups you will find her outside gardening, diving, making a terrible mess of DIY projects, and designing eco-houses to fuel her tiny home dreams.

 

Teresa Cottam has had a long career as a telecoms industry analyst and is an expert on pricing, bundling, customer and employee experience and SME and enterprise telecoms. Her current research focus is the smart lifespace and the future of work.

Teresa is the chief analyst at telecoms industry analysts Omnisperience and previously held senior positions at Analysys Mason, Chorleywood Consulting (Informa) and Ovum. She is a judge of the GSMA Global Mobile Awards (GloMo’s) for customer experience and enterprise innovation, and for the UK Cloud awards and Tech Trailblazers.

In her spare time Teresa practises Stitchcraft and is still trying to finish her novel about killing people.

 

Angharad Rhiannon is a student and journalist who is interested in the future of work for Generation Z employees. She brings her unique Gen Z perspective, challenging old ideas about working lives and how they intersect with home life. Angharad also contributes to media industry magazine Advanced Television.

When not writing and interviewing people Angharad is a passionate historian and loves crusty old things. Her main obsessions in life are foraging, cats, frogs and Anglo Saxons (in no particular order).

 

Sami Gharres is our commercial director. He has worked in the technology market for more than 20 years for boutique consultancies as well as major brands such as Nokia. He has done most of this successfully as a remote worker. Being well experienced at working from anywhere Sami is a whizz at the challenges of liaising with virtual and geographically-dispersed teams. When not breaking legacy work modes he can be found cooking up a storm in the kitchen or following his passion for ‘the other shaped ball’.
