Ilyas Kanapyanov

 As a PR specialist at VMware, I lead and manage external communications strategies across the NEMEA region, which includes markets such as the UK & Ireland, the Nordics (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland) as well as Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). Throughout my previous roles, I've accumulated significant experience in developing and driving external and internal communications strategies on behalf of global technology brands such as Microsoft, Google, Darktrace, BT, and EE. I currently hold a master’s degree in International Public Policy from UCL, as well as a bachelor’s degree in Media & Communications from Goldsmiths, University of London. In my spare time, I'm also a freelance consumer technology/gaming features writer, regularly contributing reviews, op-eds and features to notable publications such as TechRadar.
