Within his role, Jimenez will support customers by providing expert guidance in how XConnect can enable them to maximise accurate traffic delivery and minimise surcharge-based loss and fraud.

“Over my career I have witnessed substantial changes to the telecoms industry. The challenges facing service providers are greater and customer expectations are higher as omnichannel adoption increases,” said Pablo Jimenez as Global Sales and Partnership Director at XConnect. “XConnect provides world-leading numbering solutions that contribute to a more efficient, effective and trustworthy telecoms industry.
