HOLMDEL, N.J., April 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage (NYSE:
VG), a global leader in business cloud communications, announced
today that Dennis Fois, Vonage's
Applications Group President and former CEO of NewVoiceMedia, has
informed the Company of his intention to step down from his role to
become Chief Executive Officer of a private technology company.
Vonage has initiated a global search for a new Applications
Group lead. Mr. Fois will remain at the Company through
April 30, 2019, and Alan Masarek, Vonage CEO, will assume interim
leadership of the Applications Group until the search is
completed.
"We acquired NewVoiceMedia to accelerate Vonage's growth
strategy and leadership position in cloud communications,
strengthen our presence with global mid-market and enterprise
clients, and deepen our integrations and key go-to-market
relationships with CRM providers," Mr. Masarek said.
Mr. Masarek continued, "Dennis has been a great partner and
helped lead a smooth integration of NewVoiceMedia into Vonage,
including the creation of the Applications Group and its
go-to-market strategy. We are grateful for the work he's done to
help position Vonage for continued success."
Mr. Fois commented, "I am very proud of the many significant
achievements at NewVoiceMedia, most important of which was the
combination with Vonage to create a global leader in cloud
communications. Vonage is uniquely positioned in the marketplace
with its own technology stack across unified communications,
contact center, and programmable APIs, and this allows Vonage to
best respond to customer needs."
"While I have decided to leave Vonage to pursue my passion to be
a CEO, I am confident that Vonage's talented team is well
positioned to execute on its strategy for 2019 and beyond. I
believe that Vonage is among the best in the rapidly evolving cloud
communications industry," Mr. Fois added.
Since closing the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia, Vonage has
integrated its teams across the business including Sales, Product,
Engineering, Finance, Marketing and HR. The Company recently
launched CX Cloud Express, a NewVoiceMedia-based contact
center solution integrated with Vonage Business Cloud, to meet the
growing demand for a combined unified communications and contact
center solution.
