Of particular note, is that as SVP of Operations, Greg led the deployment of Yorktel’s first Managed Service for Immersive Telepresence systems.

“Greg Douglas has proven his ability to drive business development and sales and we are elated to have him in this position,” said Yorktel CEO, Ron Gaboury.

“Over the past few years,” he continued, “Yorktel has achieved unprecedented growth. As we continue to explore new avenues for innovation and expansion, whether through pending acquisitions or white labeling our services for tier-1 carriers, we look forward to the leadership and insight that Greg will contribute, as he’s done so effectively throughout his distinguished career.

“His track record both at AT&T and Yorktel truly speaks for itself, and without question, his teams’ production over the years reinforces our belief that Greg Douglas will continue to exceed expectations and take Yorktel’s sales to unprecedented heights.”

During his 24-year tenure with AT&T, Greg served as Sales Center Vice President for Public Sector. He also excelled in various other executive positions in sales, marketing and management at AT&T Government Solutions, in product management at AT&T Computer Systems, and in finance at AT&T Bell Laboratories.   

“The opportunity to help Yorktel continue expanding in new markets worldwide is an honor for which I am very grateful,” commented Greg Douglas. “With such a rich history dating back almost thirty years, Yorktel has operated with integrity, and made significant contributions to the advancement of video telecom and unified communications, and is recognized worldwide as the premier visual communications pioneer. I appreciate the confidence that Ron and the executive team has in my abilities, and look forward to helping Yorktel reinforce its position as the preferred industry partner of Fortune 500 and government enterprises across the globe.”
