ST Telemedia Reinforces Purpose-driven Leadership in Strategic Engagement

Engagement and open dialogue are powerful drivers of sustainable progress. This was a key motivation of our participation in the CNA Summit last month, where our President and Group CEO, Stephen Miller, joined a panel discussion on making strategic choices while balancing competing external priorities in an increasingly complex and unpredictable environment.  

The event explored the strategic trade-offs CEOs navigate beyond organisational boundaries, managing stakeholders expectations, market adaptation, partnerships, regulations, and brand reputation.  

Mr Miller emphasised the importance for companies to have a clear understanding of their values and role in society to manage external pressures effectively while staying focused on long-term goals. He also shared STT’s balanced approach to business and corporate social responsibility, highlighting that sustainability is no longer optional but a necessity, driven by the social licence to operate.
