Tollring appoints Bannister as Global Head of Sales

Tollring has enhanced its senior management team with the appointment of Andy Bannister as Global Head of Sales.

Bannister will lead the sales strategy across the entire Tollring portfolio of analytics, call recording and fraud management solutions, developing relationships with existing partners and new service providers across the globe.

Tollring CEO Tony Martino said that Bannister brings with him extensive industry knowledge and a wealth of experience in business communications and cloud services, having previously worked in global sales roles for Atos, Mitel and Cisco BroadSoft.

Martino said he had known Bannister since his time at Mitel where he was instrumental in helping to secure its ongoing partnership and the delivery of its business analytics across Mitel’s UCaaS portfolio.

“Andy will be a great asset to the business, driving new relationships, taking new products to market, and strengthening our strategic focus to build on the foundations we have in place today.”

Bannister said: “It’s exciting to be joining Tollring at such a dynamic period in its growth. The company’s established suite of products and services, integrated with market-leading platforms for cloud voice presents a huge opportunity to expand our global presence and help service providers to grow APRU and retain customers.

“The explosion of Microsoft Teams has opened up significant opportunities for Tollring and our partners in collaboration analytics. As everyone starts to review how they are going to work and communicate in 2021, it’s clear that hybrid working is here to stay. With workforces fully embracing remote collaboration tools, it is critical to have visibility of what is happening, from both a customer engagement and an employee wellbeing perspective – Analytics 365 and Recording 365 for Microsoft Teams will have a key part to play in delivering these insights.”
