IET president recognised in HM The Queen’s Birthday Honours
18 June 2012
A business leader with a career spanning 37 years in electronics and telecommunications, Dr Mike Short has today been recognised by Her Majesty The Queen in her annual Birthday Honours list.
IET president and vice president at Telefónica Europe plc, Dr Short becomes a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE). Commenting on the accolade, he said: “It is a great honour to receive this personally for my contribution to the mobile industry even though many others have played such a great role.
“I am particularly pleased that it helps highlight how much mobile innovation and investment has done for society, skills and services. This is a truly great year to receive my medal after 25 years in the mobile industry and only 20 years since the first digital mobile phone was approved for connection to mobile networks.”
After working for Philips, Landis & Gyr and BT, he joined Cellnet in 1989, now known as O2 and part of Telefónica Group. In his current role as vice president of public affairs for Telefónica Europe, his focus is on European public policy relating to innovation, including research, the responsible use of mobiles and new business development.
Dr Short is a past chairman of the Global GSM Association, the UK Mobile Data Association, and has served on several boards, task forces and government advisory committees.
Currently a visiting professor at a number of UK universities, Dr Short was also awarded an honorary doctorate for services to the mobile communications industry in 2008, the same year he joined the IET’s Board of Trustees.
Other IET member to receive rewards in the Birthday Honours List are:
Knighthood
Professor James McDonald, principal and vice-chancellor, University of Strathclyde. For services to education, engineering and the economy.
Professor Michael John Howard Sterling. For services to higher education, science and engineering.
Jim McDonald has been elected as an IET Trustee from 1 October 2012 and Mike Sterling was IEE president in 2002/03.
