Interop Technologies Names Eddie DeCurtis as Vice President of Asia-Pacific Sales

DeCurtis has worked internationally for 10 years and has spent six years focusing on technical sales solutions and business development. He is credited with helping to negotiate high-value deals with international operators and leading Asia-Pacific market development efforts resulting in long-term customer relationships. Prior to joining Interop, DeCurtis was Vice President of International Technical Sales and Global Solutions for an international wireless services provider.

For seven years, DeCurtis was with VeriSign Inc., where he served as International Technical Director. While at VeriSign, DeCurtis recruited and built the solutions market development team for Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Western Europe. He is credited with creating a bookings backlog within just 12 months. He helped enable key customer wins including SingTel, Brazil Telecom, British Telecom, Telefónica, China Unicom, and SK Telecom. He also lead efforts to expand VeriSign's SS7 network into new markets with the first being Asia-Pacific.

DeCurtis believes Interop's high-quality telecommunication solutions and a leadership team that hails from an operator background make Interop a strong competitor in the Asia-Pacific market. "Operators need solutions that will continue to meet their subscribers' needs at a cost that keeps them profitable," DeCurtis said.

"Eddie's proven track record and success in entering new markets will be a tremendous asset to Interop as we aggressively deliver our industry-leading technical solutions and superior service to the international market," said Tony Mijares, Senior Vice President, International Sales, Interop Technologies. "Eddie's mission is to build awareness and educate operators about Interop's key differentiators, including our SMSC 4 Series-the world's fastest SMS Center."
