InterDigital Names Rob Stien Chief Communications and Public Policy Officer
September 27 2021 - 4:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced two new senior
executive promotions within its newly combined government affairs,
marketing and communications team.
Rob Stien has been appointed as the head of the new group as
InterDigital’s EVP, Chief Communications and Public Policy Officer.
Mr. Stien joined InterDigital in 2014 and has been instrumental in
building the company’s government affairs arm in Washington D.C.,
Europe and Asia.
Blair Watters has been promoted to Vice President, Government
Relations and Standards Policy where she will continue to spearhead
the company’s U.S. policy work with added responsibility for
shaping policy around key technology standards such as 5G wireless.
Ms. Watters joined InterDigital in 2015 after a long career in
government relations and public policy. As part of her expanded
role, she will also drive several components of InterDigital’s ESG
program.
“I am excited to be taking on the leadership of the new team
particularly at a time when we’re seeing the rollout of 5G and
increased engagement from policymakers and the media regarding
standardized technologies,” Rob Stien said. “As these discussions
become more complex it makes a lot of sense to combine our
government affairs, marketing, and communications teams under one
roof as we continue to showcase InterDigital as a global leader in
mobile and video innovation.”
Ms. Watters added, “I’m looking forward to combining my U.S.
policy focus with oversight of InterDigital’s standards-based
policy work in mobile, WiFi and video. Standards development and
having the proper IP policies in place are critical to help the
U.S. increase our innovative edge and drive future economic
activity, both here and abroad.”
