Bartolo will be responsible for product development, product management, emerging technologies and corporate strategy across the company’s premise and cloud-based UC, CC, and collaboration solutions. Bartolo will report to Avaya president and CEO Jim Chirico.

“Anthony is a proven innovator, strategic thinker and operational executive with an impressive track record of leading large-scale, technology development organizations that span the entire communications ecosystem from unified communications to contact center to mobility and AI across cloud and premise-based consumption models,” said Jim Chirico, president and CEO Avaya. “Anthony’s leadership in building teams that deliver outstanding products with a customer-led focus makes him a perfect addition to the Avaya executive team, and he will be instrumental in shaping the growth trajectory of the company.”
