Barry recently stepped down from the role of Chief Marketing and Communications Officer of Inmarsat. He is an award-winning, innovative global corporate communications, marketing, sustainability, and government relations executive recognized for business leadership, successfully repositioning companies, increasing shareholder value, strengthening brands, and driving meaningful transformation. Barry joined Inmarsat in April 2021 with a focus on a simple mission: help improve the performance of the business and deliver a successful exit for the company's private equity and pension fund owners. Inmarsat's final quarter as an independent company was the best in its history, and the sale of the company to Viasat was closed at the end of May 2023. Before Inmarsat, Barry served as Nokia’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer until the end of 2020. In his Nokia role, he was responsible for all marketing, communications, government relations, industry analyst relations, corporate affairs, and employee health, safety, and security. He joined Nokia in 2006 and played key roles in the creation of Nokia Siemens Networks, its dramatic turnaround starting in 2011, the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, the revitalization of the Nokia brand, and the development of a high-performance culture and operating model. After taking responsibility for the Nokia brand in 2014, Barry drove its transformation from an ailing mobile phone brand to a recognized innovation leader in the technologies that enable our connected lives. Barry started his career in political consulting, working with clients in the United States and in more than a dozen other countries seeking elected office or building support for significant policy initiatives, such as privatization and land reform. During his career, he has worked at companies including the Sawyer/Miller Group, Dell, Raytheon, United Airlines – and even the CIA. He holds a Master’s in International Affairs from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs in New York.
