January 14, 2015. London (Business Wire) — The International M2M Council (IMC), said to be the fastest-growing trade group serving the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine communications (M2M) sector, has announced that KORE CEO Alex Brisbourne has been elected chairman. 

According to the IMC, Brisbourne was selected for his experience building KORE into the world’s largest mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) dedicated to providing wireless connectivity for M2M (See: KORE uses new ABRY funding to acquire RacoWireless and boost global M2M adoption). He has been a leading voice in M2M for more than 10 years, has served as a presenter at leading wireless conferences, and has been a regular contributor to M2M Now.
