Santa Clara, Calif. – January 15, 2020 – Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, today announced it has appointed William Madison as Vice President of Cloud Sales for North America. Madison will be responsible for enabling accelerated growth and adoption of Avaya cloud solutions with customers and partners, including the new Avaya Cloud Office UCaaS offer resulting from the company’s recent strategic partnership with RingCentral.
Avaya is addressing the evolving and growing market for cloud-based unified communications, collaboration and contact center cloud solutions for organizations from large enterprises to small-medium business, leveraging an extensive channel ecosystem to extend its market reach.

Madison comes to Avaya from Masergy Communications, a secure software-defined network and cloud platform company for the digital enterprise, where he was Vice President of Global Channel Development and Channel Chief, focused on Masergy’s go-to-market in both the US and EMEA regions. During his tenure at Masergy, Madison was recognized with several industry awards, most recently the 2019 Circle of Excellence at Channel Partners. Prior to Masergy, Madison held several leadership roles focused on establishing new strategic partnerships and building specific sales alliances expanding routes to market and increasing near and long-term revenue contributions.
“Demand for comprehensive cloud communications and collaboration applications continues to accelerate, and we believe Avaya’s partner ecosystem plays a critical role in meeting this demand,” said Jon Brinton, Avaya Vice President, North America Channel Sales. “As Avaya continues its focus on delivering cloud solutions to help address the needs of our customers and partners, we’re excited to have Madison join our company with his extensive industry experience and demonstrated leadership building and expanding successful channel relationships.”

As organizations of all sizes increasingly plan to adopt cloud communications, I look forward to helping to drive growth for our customers, partners and Avaya.”
