Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions
to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, today
announced it has appointed Simon Harrison as senior vice president
and Chief Marketing Officer, effective January 27th. Harrison joins
Avaya from leading research and advisory firm, Gartner, where he
was research director and lead analyst for the Unified
Communications and Contact Center industry.
As CMO, Harrison will lead Avaya’s global marketing function to
engage new and existing customers and partners, drive adoption of
the company’s software solutions and support Avaya as the leading
player in a dynamic digital communications market.
In a career spanning over 25 years, Harrison has been a thought
leader, product strategist, marketer and consultant in the
communications solutions industry. Prior to Gartner, he held
leadership roles in Marketing, Sales, Product Marketing and Product
Management for companies like Cirrus, Vocalcom, Siebel Systems and
others.
“As we continue to shape cloud communications for the
enterprise, I am excited that Simon, a recognized and respected
industry leader with deep expertise and an exceptional track
record, will be heading our marketing efforts,” said Jim Chirico,
Avaya President and CEO. “He is a tremendous addition to our team,
and with the market insights and unique perspectives acquired from
his work as an analyst and advisor, Simon will drive deeper
awareness and preference for Avaya solutions with our expanding
global network of customers and partners, strengthening our
position as their communications partner-of-choice.”
“Addressing the needs of the experience economy requires a
fundamentally new way of thinking. Smartphones, watches, TVs, home
devices and a growing number of ways for customers and employees to
engage means companies must rely on a different type of
communications and collaboration solution provider,” said Harrison.
“Avaya provides a much broader array of technologies than people
realize, and a market-defining ecosystem to help companies be
successful in this new era of experiences, every day. I’m excited
to join the team and help lead the effort to ensure the world knows
about this and to ultimately make customers, employees and partners
even more successful.”
