US-based supplier of mobile and fixed core networking IP convergence systems and applications Taqua has chosen Darmstadt, in Germany, as the best location to open its EMEA head office.
The company plans to use its European office to better serve mobile operators across the region and the new centre will provide support for delivery of its mobile voice and messaging services and for sales of Taqua’s core network solutions.
The new office will be led by Matthias Leisurs who will serve as Vice President of Sales for EMEA. He brings expertise in sales and marketing having previously worked at Hewlett-Packard, Vodafone-Arcor and Tekelec-Oracle.
“Matthias Leisurs is an expert in telecommunications, with more than 30 years’ experience and a proven track record in successful sales and business development in the EMEA region. We look forward to his leadership and market insight as we seek to replicate our US success in mobile convergence solutions,” says Eric L. Pratt, CEO Taqua.
