“It has been a privilege working with Paul,” said Tony Holcombe, President and CEO of Syniverse. “He not only led the development and introduction of products and services that are the foundation of our company today, but he also is an outstanding leader in our organization.”

Gordon joins Syniverse after 19 years in senior technology roles. Most recently, he was senior vice president of industry solutions at Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG). Prior to Convergys, he held a wide range of key technology positions at Bell Atlantic, IBM and General Electric. Gordon, who is the author of seven U.S. patents relating to systems architecture and wireless communications, also served on the boards of Intelesolve, Edge Capital and Convergys Information Management India.

“I’m very pleased to join the Syniverse team,” Gordon said. “The company plays a vital role in providing interoperability and clearing house services for mobile operators worldwide, and has an outstanding reputation for customer service. I look forward to working with Syniverse customers to make sure the solutions we offer them meet both their business and technology requirements.”
