Clarity Appoints Vikram Kumar as Head of Global Alliances
Sydney, 7 May 2009 – Clarity, the market leader in Unified Operational Support Systems (OSS), today announced that it has appointed Vikram Kumar in a new executive role to manage its expanding global strategic alliances.
Developing strong alliances has been a central part of Clarity’s strategy for several years and this appointment will focus greater effort on the most important relationships, through which Clarity expects to achieve growth and expand its regional footprint. Kumar’s extensive telecoms industry commercial experience and collaborative approach, will assist the world’s top telecoms integrators in acquiring new customers for Clarity’s leading Unified OSS technology, as an enabler for systems rationalisation and service transformation programmes.
More specifically, Kumar will be leveraging existing alliances and recruiting new partners to develop joint solutions, share resources and enter into new international markets.
Kumar has previously spent three years at Clarity as Director of Sales for South Asia but in this new role, Kumar will provide consistent direction and continuous support of all alliances around the globe.
Jon Newbery, CEO of Clarity commented: “We have developed strong relationships with several key partners over the last few years and we are now looking to build on that success on a more global level. We want to better support our existing partners through closer collaboration and replicate the success we’ve experienced with our current client base on a global reach.”
“I am looking forward to this opportunity to take on a more global role and to build on Clarity’s long-standing alliances created in Asia over a number of years”, added Kumar. “We understand the drivers required for long term success in alliances including transparency, trust and collaborative models. These are challenging economic times but we are expanding our activities through partners into markets where telecommunication investment is still strong. In addition to our current partners I will be looking to work with organisations that have a compatible approach to developing both existing and new markets.”
