The GSMA named its 26-member Board which will serve from January 2017 through December 2018. Turkcell (NYSE:TKC) (BIST:TCELL) CEO Kaan Terzioglu was elected to serve on the Board - Turkcell’s high level of global engagement and contributions to the development of the mobile communications sector were factored in its election.

Turkcell CEO Kaan Terzioglu emphasized that Turkey, which has recently introduced 4.5G, is a country that has a very interesting story in the field of communications – and that Turkcell will continue to contribute to the global discussion with its technological leadership in 4.5G, services-based business model and growing regional footprint.

“The mobile communications industry has a huge potential to contribute significantly to our users’ lives – especially as we start to expand the limits of technology with LTE and the transition to 5G. We aim to use this potential to the maximum with our 4.5G services, OTT offerings like BiP, TV+ and fizy, and 5G collaborations.” said Mr. Terzioglu. “We are honored to serve on the GSMA Board for the second time as the industry goes through this important period. We are also proud to represent our country, and look forward to contributing to Turkey’s mobile communication sector in cooperation with our fellow ecosystem players, including with Turk Telekom who have kindly supported us in this process.”
