The Technology Association of Georgia announced that Glenn Lurie President and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Operations, will be one of the keynote speakers at the annual Georgia Technology Summit on March 23, 2017.

Lurie is responsible for the operations of the mobility business as well as the overall customer experience across all consumer services including entertainment, video, home broadband and wireless – which includes all sales and distribution, service and operations of wireless.

Lurie started his technology career in the early days of the wireless industry at McCaw Cellular after playing professional soccer in Cleveland, Atlanta, Milwaukee and Portland. Over the past two decades, he helped usher in the modern smartphone era by leading AT&T’s negotiations to introduce the first iPhone and iPad.
