\n
\n\u201cWe are very pleased to add Dave to the Seaborn executive team,\u201d<\/em> said Larry Schwartz, Chairman & CEO of Seaborn. \u201cHis expertise is an invaluable resource to lead the continued growth of our Sales organization. Dave brings with him well established and secure relationships with major telecom service providers, hyper-scalers and large enterprises. And he has a stellar track record of leading strong sales organizations. In addition, Jim Olson fills a critical role driving our ever-growing portfolio of new-build projects that feed into Seabras-1; his experience in new-build system sales and wholesale carrier sales provides the ideal background for our corporate development initiatives. Both of these new appointments are critical building blocks as Seaborn continues to ramp up its Sales organization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
