Aepona appoints new ceo
Web services company Aepona has appointed a new ceo. The new top man is Al Snyder, who has been a non-executive director of the company since May 2006. He succeeds Brian Caulfield, who has been serving as interim Aepona CEO following the death of Isaac Olasoko in 2007.
“I’m very excited to be joining Aepona at this stage of the company’s growth,” said Mr. Snyder. “It is already well established as a leader in the Service Layer market in Europe, and has started to build a strong footprint for its Telecom Web Services offering in North America with Tier One carriers such as Sprint, TELUS and Bell Canada. With North America leading the way in the convergence of IT, Web 2.0 and Telecoms, and the concept of open networks rapidly becoming a reality that Telcos are having to adapt to, the timing is right for Aepona to establish a North American base to underpin the next phase of its growth.”
“Over the past two years he has proven to be a valuable member of Aepona’s board and has already made a significant contribution to the development of the company’s strategy. He has vast strategic and operational experience at a global level, and his experience in both the IT and Telecoms sectors is particularly well suited to his role at Aepona, given our strategy to be at the forefront of the convergence of these two worlds,” said Gilbert Little, Aepona's Chairman.
Snyder's previous positions include spells as CEO at Carrier Access, COO at Openwave, and other senior executive positions at Oracle and Digital Equipment Corporation
