It’s weird the new hire is a “He”. Seems avaya has lately become an all-female club.

Amazing that not 1 of US sales leaders was offered this role. How come JD, AU, or GdS not promoted. This place has become a “home for the unemployed” friends of Ms CRO. Very biased, if you ask me.

His titel is Americas SVP sales, Cala will also be reporting to him.

Now as to his experience, does it really matter anymore? It’s not as if we have rock stars running the show here…

If there’s truth to this, why on earth would we hire a networking/hw-centric sales leader?
