(“Optiva” or the “Company”) (TSX:OPT), a leader in providing communications service providers (CSPs) worldwide with cloud-native revenue management software on the private and public cloud, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sunil Arora as Senior Sales Director of the APAC region.

“There are a wealth of opportunities and new business models beyond B2X2X for APAC CSPs and enterprises due to the rapid growth of IoT and 5G,” said Sunil. “To monetize these, they must satisfy the expectations of a broader range of stakeholders in the complex and growing OTT partner ecosystem.”
