Teliris has added three executives to head up day-to-day sales and marketing initiatives to further scale the company as it continues to lead paying deployments of telepresence systems worldwide.

At the company's European headquarters in London, Tony Smith joins Teliris from Polycom as Vice President of European Sales, with the directive to establish and lead a European sales organisation designed to promote the Teliris solution to a wider range of prospects in their local language.

In the US, Jim Kaufold  joins Teliris from Orange Business Services as Senior Vice President of Global Sales, responsible for developing Teliris' direct and indirect sales channels. Concurrently, Bob Johnson signs on with the company from Cisco Services as the Senior Vice President of Marketing & Product Management with overall leadership responsibility for developing and implementing the company marketing strategy.

"Each of these strategic hires are key to our continued success and innovative leadership in the telepresence industry," said Marc Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO and co-founder.


"Jim, Bob and Tony were chosen specifically for their superior leadership skills and experience to help further Teliris' global expansion as the telepresence industry leader with the largest number of room installations and the most immersive meeting experience available today."
