Avaya appoints Stephane Boudier EU Mid-Market Leader

Guildford, 2017: Avaya, a global leader in business communications software, systems and services, has named Stephane Boudier its new EU Mid-Market Leader.

Stephane joined Avaya one year ago as Orange Global Account Director, quickly delivering significant results such as a +160% growth in Avaya's mid-market space in Q4 2106. He took over French Channel last summer, contributing to a significant expansion of Avaya France's Unified Communication, Contact Center and Networking solutions.

Stephane’s remit will cover European markets where Avaya is the partner of choice, as well as countries where it is a challenger brand. As EU Mid-Market Leader, Stephane will work closely with Avaya’s MM account management teams across the EU to drive value, expand the solutions offered and build stronger relationships with both partners and customers.

Stephane has near 30 years of experience in the telecoms industry, including two decades with service providers such as TDF, Orange, and SFR. He also brings extensive international experience to his new pan-European role, having formerly served as CEO of PSN in Poland, Executive CTO for Orange Jordan, and years of experience in both North American and Asian companies.

Fadi Moubarak, Vice President for Avaya Channel, EMEA & APAC:
“Stephane has proven himself an invaluable member of the Avaya team. He has demonstrated both a clear understanding of the diverse needs of our partners and end-customers as well as real enthusiasm for achieving growth and strong, enduring relationships. We are delighted to confirm his appointment, which rounds-out an exceptional global mid-market team.” 

Stephane Boudier, EU Mid-Market Leader, Avaya:
“The European market presents a significant opportunity for Avaya growth in the mid-market. The Avaya challenge is to bring the most sophisticated technology in an easy to use and affordable way. Working with trusted partners in EU will be essential to getting close to our customers, and adding value and efficiency to their business. I look forward to working with my colleagues and our partners across Europe to bring Avaya’s exceptional solutions and best-in-class service to an ever-larger audience.”
