TRANSFORMING THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT

Global communications leader Liberty Global is building tomorrow’s connections today, transforming the world of entertainment using the power of technology

Liberty Global is a world leader in converged broadband, video, and mobile communications, and an active investor in cuttingedge infrastructure, content, and technology ventures. With investments in fibre-based and 5G networks, Liberty Global plays a vital role in society, currently providing over 86mn fixed and mobile connections while also rolling out the next generation of products and services, as well as readying its networks for 10Gbps and beyond.

But as Pieter Vervoort, Liberty Global’s Vice President for Entertainment Products, explains, there is much more to Liberty Global than providing networking solutions to customers.

“Our core mission is to build tomorrow's connections today,” he explains. “We want to bring people together using the power of technology, and especially our network, but also, the services that we deliver to the end-user are then a central piece in those connections. We matter in people’s daily lives. Especially during the pandemic period this became very clear to us but also to our consumers. Reliable connectivity and great entertainment were highly appreciated when working from and living at home.”

An experienced executive professional with 25 years of international experience in the global technology sector, Vervoort spent 17 years working in consumer electronics
