On joining Masergy, he was able to immediately accelerate our growth in Europe by achieving 48% YoY growth in a tough economic period. I would attribute this success to his deep understanding of direct sales, channels and alliances, which are all areas he incorporated at Masergy. I strongly believe Richard would be an asset to any company looking to expand their European footprint.”
