“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.”
