Unify names Liliana Solomon Chief Financial Officer
Telecommunications industry finance executive
joins leadership team
Huizingen, Belgium – April 30, 2014 – Unify, formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications, today announced that it has appointed Liliana Solomon as
the company’s global Chief Financial Officer, effective May 1.
“As we continue the transformation of Unify into a true software and services
leader, strong and experienced financial stewardship of the company will be critical to
our success,” says Dean Douglas, CEO of Unify. “I’m excited to welcome Liliana to
Unify, as her demonstrated financial leadership at some of the telecommunications
industry’s top companies combined with her experience working in businesses undergoing transformation makes her ideally suited to join the Unify leadership team.”
Solomon most recently served as European CFO at the Vodafone Group, and
previously as CEO of the company’s operations in Romania. She also served in financial controlling and CFO roles over her 20 year career at leading brands including
Cable & Wireless, Deutsche Telekom, and O.Tel.O Germany.
“I’m very pleased to be joining Unify, as the company continues its transformation to achieve its ambition as a software and services market leader,” says Solomon. “From my industry experience, I know that Unify’s customers value their trusted
partnership with us, and I look forward to contributing to the company’s success.”
Solomon will replace Ray Leclercq of The Gores Group who has been serving
in that role in an interim capacity since mid-2013. "I would like to thank Ray for all of
his support and effort to guide us through these last several months as our CFO. His
insight has also provided a smooth transition for all of us that are new to Unify,” says
Douglas.
