DALLAS – Sept. 19, 2007 – Airband Communications, Inc. today announced that Layne L. Levine has joined the company as president of sales and marketing. A 20-year veteran of the telecommunications industry, Levine will lead Airband’s sales, channel management and marketing teams.
“With our recent round of funding, we are expanding both our network coverage and distribution channel,” said Mark Spagnolo, president and CEO of Airband. “Layne’s proven track record for revenue growth through a mix of direct sales, indirect channels and national accounts will allow Airband to continue our strong performance and market leading position.” Most recently, Levine was senior vice president of sales for Level 3 Communications’ business market group where he was responsible for overall sales strategy as well as leading sales engineering and sales training.
