ECi names new COO

Released 16/07/2010

Gruenewald promoted from senior VP

Software firm ECi has appointed Trevor Gruenewald as chief operating officer (COO). He joined the ECi team in January 2009 as senior VP and general manager for DDMS and the office equipment divisions. His list of responsible business units grew to include Britannia, Team Design, OMD and La Crosse.

"His contributions to these organisations, and ECi as a whole, were quickly apparent in the first few months he was with us," said president and CEO Ron Books. "Trevor takes a very customer-focused approach. This customer-focused approach is consistent across all of ECi's new Executive Team and has been adopted by all of ECi's employees."

Gruenewald has also been responsible for a number of broader operational areas across the company: cross vertical solutions (e-commerce, mobile, etc.), training and implementation, documentation and development/QA. As COO, he will continue to expand his responsibilities across all business units and several corporate functional areas.

"Trevor's contribution to the team, our partners, and customers has had a profound impact on the entire ECi organisation," Books continued. "In this new role, there is no doubt that we will see even greater results."

Gruenewald came to ECi from Avaya where he was the VP for the North American SME business. Previously, he held various sales, channels and operational leadership roles within Avaya, Lucent and AT&T, and has over 20 years experience in technology and technology services with those companies.
