CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Symend, the leader in Behavioral Engagement Technology™, today announced the appointment of J. Braxton Carter to its Board of Directors. Carter brings to Symend over 25 years of experience as a senior executive, most recently serving as executive vice president and chief financial officer at T-Mobile. Given his expertise in telecommunications and financial services, the addition of Carter to Symend’s board will help to further accelerate the company as a leader in those sectors.
“I have been a client of Symend and know first-hand the impact that their technology can have on a business’ bottom line and customer retention by accelerating the speed of collections, reducing the time for recoveries, and providing insights and analytics on customers that businesses don’t have access to today,” said Carter. “As more companies look to recover revenue and decrease operational costs – Symend's Behavioral Engagement Technology will play a crucial role. This is an incredible opportunity to support that growth.”
Carter led the financial organization at T-Mobile for nearly a decade, where he steered the carrier’s customer growth into record financial results. He was also part of the team of top executives at the company responsible for leading its ascension as a top wireless carrier in the US market. Before that Carter was chief financial officer and vice chairman for MetroPCS until its acquisition by T-Mobile in 2013. While at MetroPCS and before his promotion to CFO, Carter also served as vice president of Corporate Operations.
“Symend is focused on further strengthening our key business growth areas and expertise through our board,” said Hanif Joshaghani, co-founder and CEO, Symend. “As a past client with demonstrated success as both a founder and a leader within large scale enterprises, Braxton not only brings extensive industry experience to our team, but he also understands the value our technology delivers to the growing number of businesses we are working with in key markets.”
