Pareteum Expands Key Leadership Positions

Former iPass management tapped to accelerate TEUM momentum

NEW YORK, NY – Feb. 21, 2019 – Pareteum Corporation (Nasdaq: TEUM), a rapidly growing global cloud software communications platform company with a mission to connect “every person and every(thing)”, today announced the appointment of numerous members of the iPass management team in key roles across Pareteum.

Pareteum’s acquisition of iPass was driven by many compelling reasons, chief among them, the expansion of Pareteum’s services delivery and conversion of our growing backlog. Additionally, by joining Pareteum’s new leadership teum, these new “TEUMATES” bring skills and expertise in managing the significant product and services synergies, that will drive greater value to Pareteum’s fast growing customer base, through newly bundled services and cross selling of products. Pareteum is also very pleased with the addition of its new market segment, the enterprise market, which is now composed of more than 500 Fortune 5000 customers. These customers will soon benefit from expansion beyond WiFi access services and into a full suite of cloud platform connectivity and software communications services.

Former iPass executives have joined and assume the following Pareteum roles:

Patricia Hume assumes global corporate marketing functions, including corporate and administrative organizational support, as chief marketing officer.
Christine Braelow joins as VP of global sales for the enterprise sales segment. Braelow will drive new customer acquisition across the entire Pareteum product portfolio.
Blaz Vavpetic joins as VP of Product Management. Vavpetic will head product marketing with overlay product revenue responsibility within all segments partnering with the executives within the sales Teums.
Raghu Konka joins as VP of Engineering driving platform development and integration across the company.
Venkat Etikyala joins as VP of Global Network Operations and Level I/II Support.
Erin Norton joins in the role of corporate staff support including financial and operations reporting.

Gary Griffiths, the former CEO of iPass, has joined the Pareteum Advisory Board. Pareteum’s Advisory Board was established in 2017 with executives having a depth of industry experience and knowledge. The TEUM Advisory Board leverages its decades of successes, providing perspectives on the industry and insights to maximize Pareteum’s strategic positioning for new and accelerated growth.

Founder, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer of Pareteum, Hal Turner, commented: “It’s great to have this team on board as we enter the next phase of our growth. They have a wealth of experience which will be invaluable as we expand our focus and scale the company to achieve its strategic objectives.”
