By integrating advanced digital technologies, we will aim to optimize content delivery and engagement. My focus will be on harnessing innovations that not only position BCE at the forefront of the industry but also enrich the Media-as-a-Service offerings. I’m both excited and honored to play a pivotal role in the BCE's strategy, working alongside our customers and partners to transform the broadcasting landscape."
