Board of Directors and Executive Leadership

ATIS is led by a dynamic Board of Directors composed of CTOs and other senior-level executives representing all facets of the global ICT industry. This diverse group of high-caliber leaders understands the industry’s most pressing business and technical challenges, enabling them to actively set ATIS’ strategic, technical and operational direction. Their vision and first-hand knowledge of the issues drives ATIS’ priorities for creating best-in-class standards and solutions.

ATIS’ work goes far beyond standards to encompass strategic technology planning. The ATIS Board provides insight into the future of ICT by bringing together the industry’s top minds to interact in a variety of forums, including the Technology and Operations (TOPS) Council and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council.

The ATIS TOPS Council actively identifies and addresses the industry's technical, operational and business priorities and coordinates standardization efforts across the industry to produce interoperable, implementable, end-to-end solutions. The TOPS Council's priorities include not only efforts to ensure current technologies and practices are interoperable, but efforts to ensure interoperability in emerging and future areas of technology.

The ATIS CIO Council provides a venue for CIO-level service provider representatives to proactively identify, frame, coordinate, and advance solutions to IT issues of common interest that are challenging the industry, as well as provide perspective and direction to the development of standards, guidelines and best practices in support of these issues.
