Huawei relies on female tandem in B2B business
With Lisa Stinner and Laurence Pasquier Dessingy, Huawei has brought two women on board for its business customer segment. The telecommunications service provider aims to grow further in German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland in focus markets such as manufacturing, transport, retail, the financial industry, and the public sector.

The Chinese telecommunications company Huawei is relying on double female power: On the one hand, Lisa Stinner has been appointed Account Manager for the manufacturing, retail and transport sectors in German-speaking Switzerland. Secondly, the company appoints Laurence Pasquier Dessingy as Territory Manager in Suisse Romande for the manufacturing, financial services and higher education sectors. Both ladies are tasked with developing Huawei's business in the enterprise sector in their respective regions, maintaining and expanding relationships with existing and new customers, and advancing Huawei's partner ecosystem in Switzerland, according to a corresponding media release.vIn particular in French-speaking Switzerland, Huawei aims to increase its market share with large customers. Across Switzerland, Huawei's technology is expected to create added value for Swiss companies, increase the level of digitalization, and thus help Switzerland remain highly competitive in the aforementioned focus industries.
