NEW
YORK, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaleyra,
Inc. (NYSE: KLR) (NYSE American: KLR WS) ("Kaleyra" or the
"Company"), a rapidly growing omnichannel business
communications platform, announced today that former equity
research analyst Colin Gillis has
joined its leadership team as Vice President of Investor Relations,
effective immediately. In this role, Gillis will regularly engage
with the investor community to expand and elevate visibility into
the company's operations, growth strategy, and results.
Gillis brings over a decade of relevant industry experience from
his time analyzing public and private companies as an equity
research analyst. Before joining Kaleyra, Gillis served as Director
of Research at BGC Partners. He was also a Founding Partner,
Director of Research, and Senior Technology Analyst at Chatham Road
Partners, an advisory firm for institutional investors. His most
recent work has been focused on cloud software, mobile computing,
performance and brand advertising, payments and commerce, and the
underlying platforms that power the digital economy. In addition,
he was previously ranked as one of the world's top 10 analysts by
The Financial Times.
Prior to these experiences, Gillis received a BS with Honors in
electrical engineering from Brown
University and an MBA with Honors from New York University's Stern School of Business.
After completing graduate school, Gillis began his equity research
career by covering emerging digital and traditional
headcount-driven businesses, first for the RBC Capital Markets
research team and then later for the Canaccord-Genuity research
team, among other engagements. In addition to his background in
equity research, Gillis has developed a strong understanding of
internal tech company development strategies while working for a
range of both private startup and public multinational tech
companies.
"Colin's reputation as a respected and influential voice within
the investment community makes him an ideal candidate to lead our
investor relations efforts," said Kaleyra Founder and CEO
Dario Calogero. "While our focus
remains on executing our growth strategy, it is imperative that the
investment world has an internal representative with which to
interface. Colin's capital markets expertise and deep understanding
of our industry will be instrumental to our team as Kaleyra
continues to mature, and we're looking forward to benefitting from
his knowledge and impact in the coming quarters."
"I have encountered hundreds of management teams in my tenure as
a published research analyst, and strongly believe in the vision of
Kaleyra's executives and the Company's opportunities for sustained
growth going forward," said Gillis. "Dario and Giacomo have done a
wonderful job of curating a network of investors that are engaged
and excited about Kaleyra, and I look forward to helping build on
that foundation as we move into Kaleyra's next stage of
development."
With this new addition, Kaleyra's executive team now consists of
Dario Calogero as Founder, Chief
Executive Officer and Director, Giacomo
Dall'Aglio as Chief Financial Officer, Filippo Monastra as Chief People Officer,
Nicola Junior Vitto as Chief Product
Officer, Mauro Carobene as Chief
Business Officer, Geoff Grauer as
