Peter White

CEO and Co-Founder, Rethink Technology Research

Peter White has been involved in technology since 1978 and is now the CEO of Rethink Technology Research and helped create the company in 2002.

Peter focuses his research on video and all the technologies which allow it to traverse digital networks. He has consulted with set top and home gateway manufacturers, encoder specialists, chip vendors, flash memory providers, security companies and TV UI specialists over the past 15 years.  His coverage area takes in recommendation systems, VoD servers, OTT enablers, content metadata, natural language search, LCD and OLED panels, WiFi and underlying broadband technologies such as DOCSIS, ADSL, G.Fast, G.hn and fiber. So it goes from chips and hardware, through to software and the cloud, and it is everything that relates to video, from glass (the camera) to glass (the screen).

Peter is the principal analyst on Faultline, a digital media research service offered by Rethink Technology Research. He also works with Thomas Flanagan on its research arm Rethink TV.

Caroline Gabriel

Research Director & Co-Founder, Rethink Technology Research

Caroline left the Dutch publishing and research conglomerate VNU, at the top of the organization, as European Editorial Director in 2002, to help create Rethink Technology Research.

She has been explaining technology to people for almost 30 years and has conducted research assignments for most of the major businesses in the sector including The European Commission, Intel, LightSquared, Vodafone, Amdocs, the Small Cell Forum, the Wireless Broadband Alliance, Ofcom as well as start-ups like SpiderCloud, Deltenna and BLiNQ Networks.

She has also partnered with other analyst groups in joint projects including RealWireless, the Yankee Group, Maravedis and ArcChart.

The irony is that while Caroline works in a subject very much of the future, she studied History at Oxford University, although she always makes it clear that history has a habit of repeating itself, even within technology.

Caroline has spoken and chaired many conferences and is a well- known and respected figure within the LTE and 5G community.

She operates as the company’s Research Director and is expert in all forms of Wireless communication and has edited our research service Wireless Watch, since its inception in 2002 and leads our RAN Research forecasts and also finds time to conduct consulting assignments for a wide variety of wireless businesses.

If you want to email Caroline, ask her a question or invite her to attend or speak at an event, then please email her at [email protected] and we will forward it to her.

Philip Hunter

Research Fellow

I joined Rethink Research full time at the start of 2018 because of the growth in popularity of the Riot and Faultline publications, having previously spent over 30 years as a journalist and analyst covering science, technology and media.

I first contributed to Faultline in 2010 and revelled in the freedom to develop stories and ideas subject to the rules of libel and consistency with Rethink’s positioning. We take a collective opinion on great issues of the day in technology and media. These may evolve in the light of changing circumstances but in that case, we explain our stance has changed.

My background is scientific and technology having studied mathematics at Cambridge University and I believe I bring an analytical eye to breaking stories and events. At Rethink I enjoy tackling a range of subjects across media, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, aiming to delve beneath the bonnet and relate the underlying technology to the business realities.

Alex Davies

Riot Editor and Senior Analyst of Riot Research

I joined Rethink Research in 2013, having graduated with a Master’s degree in English Literary Studies, from the University of Southampton. Before Rethink Research, I was enjoying building computers, reading weird books, and playing American Football.

Rethink Research has allowed me to explore my interests in technology, particularly in LPWAN, enterprise transformation, AI, and autonomous vehicles. Riot Research and Riot’s subscription service has given me the platform to follow my interests – to explore, analyse and forecast the future of these emerging technologies. I especially enjoy interviewing leading figures in these industries, and, for the better, change the course of businesses future by predicting the successes and failures of technologies.

Thomas Flanagan

Faultline Editor and Senior Analyst of Rethink TV

I joined Rethink Research in 2014 having graduated from Greenwich University in Biomedical Science.

Rethink Research threw me into becoming one of the editors for the industry-renowned digital entertainment technology publications, Faultline Online Reporter. What makes me enjoy working here is I have been given a platform to become an expert in the intricacies of video delivery and security. I love that we provide unrivalled detail, while not sugar coating how tough the future will be and we provide our readers with a framework for surviving shifting industry trends.

If you would like to speak to me about the plethora of technologies that comprise video delivery, wireless networking and a spattering of IoT, contact me via my email: [email protected]

Harry Morgan

Research Analyst

I joined Rethink Research fresh out of the University of Bristol in October 2019, having graduated from a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. For my final years I was working as the Operations manager of the University radio station, gaining appreciation of the impact of effective journalism and reporting.

Through my degree and work at Rethink Energy, I have developed my understanding of both the technical and political sides of the global energy market and been able to explore my interests in renewable and sustainable technology. I have loved exploring the innovation within this constantly shifting field and believe that critically assessing disruptive technology is essential to facilitate the global transition to a sustainable, zero-carbon economy.

Rafi Cohen

Market Intelligence Executive

I joined Rethink Research in September 2019, straight out of completing my BA in History from the University of Bristol. I previously ran live music events and continue to manage two artists.

Working at Rethink has provided me the challenge of applying my analytical and written communication skills to a whole host of industries which will dictate much of the future. I like how the company makes every effort to step back from the promises of PR, always trying to take a birds-eye view on the ways in which the tech industry transforms over time.
