Communications ecosystems are complicated. In an age when everyone has their devices on hand and depends on them for all kinds of messages and calls that come in from all over the world, it’s no surprise that routing and managing these communications gets tricky. Add in preventing fraud, keeping costs low and all the other considerations that enterprises, communications service providers and fraud prevention service providers need to worry about in this mobile landscape, and it all seems impossibly complex. However, it doesn’t have to be — not when the right phone number intelligence data is being used.
netnumber Global Data Services, the world-leading provider of accurate, reliable and secure phone number intelligence data, has more than 20 years of experience in the field. The company’s broad array of solutions solve complex ecosystem challenges and reduce both costs and operational complexity for customers with detailed network and services attributes for global telephone numbers (you can learn more about that here.)
Now, the company is empowering its growth and innovation on behalf of customers with the addition of its new Vice President of Business and Market Development: Dr. Marco Lafrentz.
Lafrentz provides a keen awareness of global trends and demands that will guide the company’s rapid growth trajectory and strategy. In turn, this will ensure the company’s services meet the needs of enterprises, communications service providers and fraud prevention service providers alike. Lafrentz is an experienced leader in the technology and telecommunications space. Prior to joining netnumber Global Data Services, he drove innovation strategy and new product development for nine years at a global application-to-person messaging operator and cloud communications provider. There, he served as VP of Products and was instrumental in transforming a wholesale SMS aggregator into an enterprise-focused Service Provider, as well as creating a new product suite around the WhatsApp Business Solution by Meta.
“I’m thrilled to join the netnumber Global Data Services team at such an exciting inflection point in their business journey. Industry-leading phone number intelligence data solutions like those offered by netnumber Global Data Services have the ability to completely transform the communications landscape, and I’m eager to be a part of this company’s next phase of growth,” states Lafrentz.
“It is a tremendous time for Marco to join the netnumber Global Data Services team as we continue to accelerate our growth through strategic partnerships and investments in the market. Marco’s background in the industry and his messaging expertise, in particular, are a great fit for netnumber Global Data Services as we continue to expand on the critical role we play in the ecosystem globally,” comments Steve Legge, CEO of netnumber Global Data Services. “With our recent acquisition by Abry Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm and experienced communications investor, the new netnumber Global Data Services is fueled for growth and ready to capitalize on the strong DNA that has been built over the last two decades.”
