Amy began her career in engineering product management with Lucent Technologies.  Building on that experience, she started one of the first services sales team for Lucent in 2000 as they moved from including services for free to fee.  During that 3 year tenure, Amy’s team tripled the services revenue for their account and partnered with the client on a major network upgrade.  Amy has held various sales positions in the telecom industry focused on helping wireless companies serve their end users in a fast, easy and useful way.  After 11 years in the telecommunications industry, Amy made the transition to cable working for Speechcycle and selling automated IVR agents in 2008.  Due to the 15% year over year growth Amy helped drive while at Speechcycle, she was recruited to Synchronoss after they acquired Speechcycle in May 2012.  At Synchronoss, Amy is focused on leveraging the multichannel support and tools that her key cable accounts can use to retain and attract end customers.
