relationships enable service providers to quickly and easily offer
their customers world class cloud-based unified communications
across mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers.
“Service providers are playing a critical role in enabling

operating officer for RingCentral. “Central to that transformation
is powerful, reliable, and secure cloud-based communications
services that bring together messaging, video, and phone
capabilities enabling people to work from anywhere. We’re excited

“Service providers are focused on driving value for their

Global Service Providers for RingCentral. “Recent events have
accelerated the need for delivering advanced Unified Communications
as a Service that include messaging, video, and phone capabilities
to today’s remote workforce. I’m excited to join RingCentral to
