Yorktel Expands EMEA Footprint

Yorktel announced that it has expanded its footprint in EMEA. The company announced the opening of a new Yorktel office in France, the first in the country. 

Stéphane Guez has been appointed to head the office as the new Territory Sales Manager for France. In his new post, Stéphane is tasked with growing Yorktel’s (Yorktel France SAS) country revenue and building on an already established international presence. Stéphane brings more than 20 years of industry expertise to his position as Territory Sales Manager. 

Prior to joining Yorktel, he held positions such as Sales Manager, Manager of Global Alliances, and Business Development Manager for France and EMEA with companies including Cabletron Systems, T-Systems, NTT, Nortel and Alvarion. During his five-year tenure with Nortel as Director of Business Development EMEA for the Partners and Enterprise, Nortel revenue in the large enterprise space grew 100% year-over-year.

Global expansion into target markets remains a top priority for Yorktel. In 2012, the company acquired UK-based First Connections, an award-winning service provider with operations across the UK and Ireland. This transaction enhanced Yorktel’s ability to meet the increasing demand and communications needs of its portfolio of global customers in EMEA.

In Q4 of last year, Yorktel reported a 22% increase in revenue as well as 30% growth in new customers worldwide.
