Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW), a global leader in business

the EMEA and APAC markets, which compose Mitel’s international
regions, creating new Mitel customer engagement programs that
complement the company’s evolving go-to-market structure.

Richard Roberts as Vice President of UK and Ireland and EMEA

career in the technology industry. He joins Mitel from Juniper
Networks where he most recently led the company’s global marketing
campaigns. Previously he spearheaded EMEA and APAC marketing
programs for organizations including Brocade and Nortel, where he
first worked in the unified communications and collaboration
space.
Based in the UK, Silke is a member of Jeremy Butt’s cabinet.
