Yorktel Expands Europe Presence

Video managed services provider Yorktel said this week it has opened a new office in France.

The New Jersey-headquartered company already had a Europe presence thanks to the 2012 purchase of U.K.-based service provider First Connections.

Stéphane Guez is in charge of the France location, serving as territory sales manager for France. Guez has worked in the communications sector for more than 20 years with companies including Nortel and Alvarion.

“France represents the second largest videoconferencing market in Europe, behind only the United Kingdom,” said Ron Gaboury, CEO of Yorktel. “As such, strengthening our presence in France is key to our being able to capitalize on this market opportunity.”

Yorktel said global expansion remains a top priority for the company.
