Personally speaking, I have always admired the way the MMA markets itself to brands and agencies in the mobile industry, and grows its membership by demonstrating the value it adds for its members, while keeping the best interests of consumers close to its heart.” “I’m particularly passionate about the need to highlight the role of women in the mobile industry and delighted to have been elected to the board of an organisation which has always led the way in this regard.”
