Iris Meijer — CEO
As Chief Product & Marketing Officer at Verizon Business, a 30bn B2B arm of Verizon, I lead a global team dedicated to driving innovation, shaping product and marketing strategy, and elevating the customer experience. Overseeing both product P&L and global marketing, my focus is on creating solutions that not only meet the evolving needs of businesses but also on anticipating the opportunities of tomorrow to ensure that Verizon Business remains at the forefront of digital transformation for companies worldwide. I believe that great brands are built on trust, that customer experience should be the foundation of both product development and marketing, and that meaningful relationships drive long-term success. My approach integrates data-driven customer insights with creative storytelling, bringing together commercial strategy, brand and product leadership, and innovative marketing tactics to strengthen Verizon’s position as a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes. Prior to joining Verizon, I served as Global Chief Marketing Officer for Vodafone Business, leading commercial strategy, value propositions, digital and brand strategy, and communications. Before that, I was Vice President of Customer Marketing and Communications at Nokia, where I led a globally dispersed team in delivering customer-centric marketing and solution strategies. Fluent in English and Finnish, and conversational in Swedish, French, and Spanish, I thrive in diverse and dynamic global environments. As a leader, I am passionate about fostering inclusive teams, mentoring future talent, and championing innovation that delivers real impact for businesses and their communities.
