Genband, the Real-time communications provider, has promoted Patrick Joggerst to lead its global sales and marketing efforts.

The Texas-based company promoted Joggerst, an experienced sales veteran, from his previous role as chief marketing officer. Genband CEO David Walsh said Joggerst has more than 30 years of experience with global brands and the telecommunications industry.

“I have worked closely with Patrick in the past and am confident that he is the right person to help us accelerate the business,” Walsh said.

Genband caters to the channel with a reseller program comprised of technology partners, enterprise resellers and carrier resellers. Some of those partners include Avaya, Ericsson and Arrow Systems Integration. One of its better-known products is Kandy, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering.

Joggerst joined Genband last spring after working for three years as BroadSoft’s vice president of global sales.{ad}

“The innovation that the team is bringing to market along with the pace that the industry is moving makes this one of the most exciting opportunities of my professional career and I am looking forward to working with David [Walsh] and the rest of the leadership team to help the company capitalize on the numerous opportunities that lie ahead,” Joggerst said at the time.
