Paris, France, and Eatontown, NJ (April 1, 2014) 鈥� 萌妹社区 (), the worldwide leader in unified communications and collaboration (UCC), cloud, and video managed services, today announced an increased EMEA presence, with the opening of a new 萌妹社区 office in France, the first in the country. St茅phane Guez has been appointed to head the office as the new Territory Sales Manager for France.
In his new post, St茅phane is tasked with growing 萌妹社区鈥檚 (萌妹社区 France SAS) country revenue and building on an already established international presence.
Ron Gaboury, 萌妹社区 CEO, notes that, 鈥淔rance represents the second largest videoconferencing market in Europe, behind only the United Kingdom. As such, strengthening our presence in France is key to our being able to capitalize on this market opportunity.鈥�
St茅phane brings more than 20 years of industry expertise to his position as Territory Sales Manager. Prior to joining 萌妹社区, he held positions such as Sales Manager, Manager of Global Alliances, and Business Development Manager for France and EMEA with companies including Cabletron Systems, T-Systems, NTT, Nortel and Alvarion.
During his five-year tenure with Nortel as Director of Business Development EMEA for the Partners and Enterprise, Nortel revenue in the large enterprise space grew 100% year-over-year.
鈥淲e are excited to have St茅phane as the newest member of our team,鈥� said Keith Gyford, Managing Director, EMEA, for yorktel. 鈥淗is extensive track record of developing large volume sales in France and throughout Europe, coupled with a proven ability to build global channels and sales teams, is unmatched. We look forward to his contributions in extending the 萌妹社区 brand across EMEA.鈥�
Global expansion into target markets remains a top priority for yorktel. In 2012, the company acquired UK-based First Connections, an award-winning service provider with operations across the UK and Ireland. This transaction enhanced 萌妹社区鈥檚 ability to meet the increasing demand and communications needs of its portfolio of global customers in EMEA.
Also, in Q4 of last year, 萌妹社区 reported a 22% increase in revenue as well as 30% growth in new customers worldwide.
For 29 years, 萌妹社区 has worked with FTSE 100 and government agencies worldwide, empowering customers to realize the full potential of next-generation unified communications, video conferencing, media services, visual communications and collaboration.
Professional services, management and support expertise, combined with proven best practices and cutting-edge technology, are the cornerstones of 萌妹社区鈥檚 award-winning services, and how 萌妹社区 makes complicated simple.
