Happy New Year and welcome back to the entire V Team.

Today’s Up To Speed featured the live broadcast of the 2021 Kickoff. Hans Vestberg shared his vision for the coming year, including the following five priorities:

  • Defend LTE leadership and build on momentum in brand and core business.
  • Scale 5G deployment and execute new 5G revenue models.
  • Capitalize on new market opportunities.
  • Drive balance sheet strength and cost transformation.
  • Maintain customer-centric mindset and lead in responsible business.

Sharing their 2021 priorities were:

  • Tami Erwin for the Business group
  • Ronan Dunne for the Consumer group
  • Guru Gowrappan for the Verizon Media group
  • Kyle Malady for the Global Network & Technology organization

The leadership team ‒ including Matt Ellis, Diego Scotti, Rima Qureshi and Craig Silliman ‒ took questions from V Teamers.

Dinner table talking points

Hans shared what we should be telling our friends and family in the new year:

  1. Talk about all that we achieved during 2020; most importantly, how we served our customers while maintaining the health and safety of our employees.
  2. Share our five priorities for 2021.
  3. Salute the V Team. We all have a part to play and we will continue to stand up and support one another, as we have done for years.
