Wholesale telecommunications services vendor, Vocus, has brought in a new account manager as part of its stated strategy and claim to deliver services which will “shake up” the Australian wholesale telecommunications industry.

It’s a grand claim by the wholesaler, and it has appointed telecommunications specialist, Paula Kalleske, to drive its market strategy after previously working for 10 years in the industry with AAPT/Connect, Comindico, and most recently for four years with Verizon.

Vocus commercial manager, Dan Whitford, said he believed that Kalleske’s strong, open communication style and industry experience would be a real asset to the company.

Whitford said Kalleske’s appointment followed “hot on the heels” of record results for Vocus, when the company recorded new sales of $4.5 million for the March quarter.

“Paula’s technical knowledge and industry experience mean that she can build a great rapport with clients which will ensure we will continue to deliver the excellent service our clients have come to expect from us.”

Kalleske said “Vocus is forward thinking, fast paced and has one of the most experienced teams in the industry,” adding that “they are committed to shaking up the wholesale telecommunications industry and delivering excellent service across the board and I’m very pleased to be part of such a successful and entrepreneurial company.”
