Broadvoice is boosting support for its indirect sales partners with five additions/promotions on its channel team.

She previously was business development manager at TelAdvocate Communications, a telecom agency based in Florida. She also held positions at Frontier Communications, iQ4Mobility and Bright House Networks (now Spectrum).
“While I’ve spent most of my career in direct sales for service providers, most recently I worked for a channel partner, which has given me an understanding of what partners really need to drive business forward,” she said. “I’m excited for the opportunity to help Broadvoice partners in the Southeast to grow their UCaaS revenue.”
Andrew Hernandez, a six-year Broadvoice sales expert, has been promoted from partner sales manager to channel manager for the Southeast.
