Steve has a long history within Avaya, and his experience makes him a perfect fit to drive our cloud strategy with partners who are ready to take their customers’ communications and collaboration solutions capabilities to the next level,” says Fadi Moubarak
“I’m heading up a community that is tremendously loyal to the brand and that is full of energy to realise the opportunities that lie within our existing install base. Our partner relationships are an essential part of the formula for Avaya’s continued success,” says Steve Joyner.
