Bandwidth COO enterprise adoption appointment

Bandwidth has secured Anthony Bartolo, the former Executive Vice President at Avaya, as their COO (Chief Operating Officer). 

The newly created role of COO at Bandwidth has been setup to capture new enterprise customers. With his experience in business relations, Bartolo appears well placed to lead the operation. 

David Morken, Bandwidth’s Chief Executive Officer said: 

“Anthony is a unique combination of disciplined operator and cross-functional team leader who has led billion-dollar P&Ls around the world. He has a strong track record of successfully building new revenue streams, transforming product portfolios and driving global customer acquisition at world-class companies in our space,” 

 “In this new position, Anthony will drive our day-do-day mission to win new enterprise customers and become the best global communications platform-as-a-service for app developers.” 

Bartolo comes directly from Avaya where he reportedly oversaw an 11-fold increase in annual revenue from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer. 

Anthony Bartolo brings 30 years of experience at Avaya, Tata Communications and Nortel, among others, to Bandwidth. 

Anthony Bartolo, the newly appointed Chief Operating Officer at Bandwidth said: 

“Bandwidth is exceptionally well-positioned to win as the enterprise platform of choice in the digital communications transformation.” 

“The company has a reputation for excellence that I’ve admired for many years. Bandwidth’s solid customer base, strong leadership, dedicated and motivated team, and a mission-first, customer-centric culture are a winning combination that creates tangible value for customers. I’m very excited to join this team and help drive the next stage of global growth.” 

Before joining Avaya, Bartolo is said to have had various roles at Tata Communications, such as Chief Product Officer and President of Mobility. 

At Tata Communications, Bartolo reputedly forged important partnerships and expanded the company globally and into new markets. 

Anthony Bartolo has also acted as President and CEO of Skyrider, Vice President and General Manager at Symbol Technologies, and various roles at Nortel Networks, where he first started. 

Bandwidth has recently poached Microsoft Teams, RingCentral and Gensis as customers through its BYOC (bring-your-own-carrier) offerings. 

Bandwidth describes itself as a global communications software, operating in over 60 countries. Cisco, Google, Microsoft, RingCentral and Zoom are some of the major companies using Bandwidth’s API. 

Bandwidth claims to be the first CPaaS (Communications Platform-as-a-Service) provider with APIs built on their own network.
