Ireland will have oversight of SimpleSignal?s day-to-day financial operations as well as taking a significant role in business development. He will be responsible for introducing SimpleSignal?s products to a larger indirect channel audience and for helping the company manage their rapid growth.

This industry experience, coupled with previous positions in banking and consumer finance, add up to knowledge and competency in growth management, finance, strategic planning, and operational efficiencies.

Ireland has been actively involved in the indirect agent channel for the last 14 years. He most recently served as VP, Channel Development for GLOBALINX, a facilities-based provider of IP services to the residential and small business markets, following their acquisition of TMC Communications, a leading reseller of switchless voice and data services for the SMB market, in December of 2010. There he held the dual title of President and CFO, where he coordinated the activities of all sales, accounting, collections, HR, pricing, IT, and revenue assurance staff, and ensured performance goals were met and profit margins grew.

"I've admired SimpleSignal from afar for the last several years, and observed their commitment to the indirect channel and to providing a full-featured unified communications solution to both the SMB and enterprise markets as a winning strategy in today's quickly changing communications environment," said Ireland when asked about the move. ?SimpleSignal is being recognized as one of the most innovative companies in the industry, and I?m really excited to be a part of bringing their new cloud technologies to companies small and large.?

"We're excited to have Ron join our team as we continue on our path of market leader in unified communications," said SimpleSignal CEO Dave Gilbert. "Ron brings a diverse skill set and a lengthy list of industry connections to the table. He knows every angle of the business and he is a very welcome addition to our already talented growing team.?

Since beginning his career in 1988, Ireland held positions of increasing responsibility and leadership in the banking industry as controller and then CFO at California Thrift and Loan and Bank of Ventura before transitioning to the telecom industry, joining TMC in 1998.
