Caroline Gabriel

We have only scratched the surface of the services and businesses we can build on telecoms infrastructure, and AI will intensify the innovation.  

Caroline leads Analysys Mason’s Technology research practice, which covers the whole TMT technology stack including networks, cloud, software and automation. 

Caroline leads many research activities related to current and next-generation networks and cloud, as well as focusing on the economics of major trends such as 5G/6G and network AI. She is responsible for building and running Analysys Mason's unique research base of mobile and converged operators worldwide. 

She works directly with Analysys Mason's research clients to advise them on network trends and market developments. She has been engaged in technology analysis, research and consulting for 30 years, and has focused entirely on telecoms, particularly mobile operators and networks, since 2002. Her focus is on critical issues and trends related to telecoms infrastructure, particularly operator deployment intentions for 4G, 5G, virtualised RAN, end-to-end open networks and other technologies. She has led research and consulting projects with a wide range of clients, including mobile infrastructure vendors, large and start-up operators, regulators, trade bodies, government agencies and financial institutions. 

Caroline co-founded Rethink Technology Research, an independent consultancy focused on telecoms and media, in 2002. Prior to that, she held various executive positions at VNU Business Publishing (then Europe's largest producer of technology-related B2B reports and publications). She holds an MA from the University of Oxford. 

She is an avid movie-goer and loves travelling to new countries.
