TeleDomani Opens Doors to Women in Technology

PRESS RELEASE — CHANNEL PARTNERS CONFERENCE & EXPO — April 17, 2018 — TeleDomani (booth #9010 and a Featured Sponsor) continues its expansion, so the need for additional personnel is paramount to maintain TeleDomani’s white glove service standard. The Master Agent is creating a path to support a new generation of technology leaders; TeleDomani seeks driven and career minded individuals to make up their team and is pioneering for the future of women in the technology industry.

One of TeleDomani’s most recent strategies for evolution was the addition of 20-year Verizon veteran, Michele LaBuda, its first Executive Director of Sales Operations. LaBuda is projected to have a large effect on TeleDomani’s success. Throughout LaBuda’s twenty-year tenure with Verizon she’s held various positions, the last 14 as a valued sales leader. LaBuda joins TeleDomani with extensive knowledge of customized business solutions and a deep understanding of the Verizon portfolio.

CEO Gina Pigott states, “Michele is just what we needed here at TeleDomani! She is one of the most respected individuals I’ve met in the industry. The rapport and trust that Michele builds with those she works with is unprecedented and has allowed her to develop long standing, loyal business relationships. Her expertise will prove invaluable in partner enablement, as she focuses on developing individual plans to solve our partners’ strategic challenges and advance their businesses. Her abilities are just as strong operationally, and our agents will get the best of both worlds as she steers them through the process.  She leads our channel efforts with a focus on growing revenue and enhancing the partner and client experience, all while helping to drive sales strategy and business development. Our whole team is over the moon to have her here and our agents are about to be!”

LaBuda is a key component in TeleDomani’s initiative for young women in tech, working side by side with CEO Gina Pigott and CFO Mary Pellnitz.  We have recently added five entry-level positions for young women starting their careers while in college or post Grad.

LaBuda says, “I chose to make TeleDomani my home because Gina [Pigott] and this organization make you feel like family.  I am inspired to be part of the vision to lead a value driven culture, that’s built on a foundation of mentoring to empower the younger generation, to guide them through the start of their career and set a path to achieve at the highest level. TeleDomani represents true professionalism, leadership and expertise.”

TeleDomani’s CEO Gina Pigott states, “Some of the best advice I ever received was from Janet Schijns, who urged me to go find a reverse mentor; these young women are brilliant, have a phenomenal work ethic, they embrace new technology and use it to its fullest potential every day to be productive, efficient and ahead of the pack. I learn from them every day! We are focused on increasing the female population in our industry while making being in technology inspiring, rewarding and exciting for young women to find a home with us. Our little company is making a big difference every day, paying it forward and contributing to the growth of our staff, agents and all the companies we partner with.”

With continuous growth, there seems to be no stopping the TeleDomani domination.
