to harness the potential of mobile technologies. Ross will be at FIPP London,
presenting a talk titled “Mobile is a mindset”.

Previously with The Economist, Elizabeth now has overall operational

innovation case studies included in the 2016/17 World Report.

ideas and a checklist of how to ensure your innovations have the best chance at
success. In the process you’ll have a lot of fun too. Guaranteed.

said of Callie’s entry: “Tapping into the current media zeitgeist of marrying data
with a gap in the market, Callie clearly has a very impressive and well-developed
sense for business development. Hers is an exciting innovation, of the kind that
makes one look forward to the future of media.”
Callie and the other two winners, Breton Fischetti, Director of Business
Development at Business Insider in the US, and Mieke Vlok, Journalist at
