Dialogic Inc. (Nasdaq:DLGC), a leading provider of products and
technologies that enable operators to provide - and subscribers to enjoy
- an enhanced mobile experience, today announced that Dialogic’s Board
of Directors has appointed current President and COO Kevin Cook as
President and CEO of Dialogic. Former CEO Nick Jensen resigned yesterday
but remains as a member of the Dialogic Board and will assume the role
of non-executive Vice Chairman.
“I am honored that the Board has selected me to be our CEO,” said Cook.
“Nick has been an outstanding mentor and a visionary for Next-Gen
communications technologies. I am excited to take the helm of Dialogic
given the depth of our management team and our shared commitment to the
company’s future. We are all aligned in support of our top global
priorities – extending Mobile Experience Management to our customers
worldwide, investing in the power of our Next-Gen portfolio and
generating the returns that create shareholder value. Our partners and
customers should view this transition as a vote of confidence in
Dialogic and an important milestone in our growth as a world-class
company.”
Cook became President and COO of Dialogic in December 2011. In this
capacity, he has directed global operations for more than 700 employees
in 30 countries. Previously, he served as Executive Vice President of
Worldwide Field Operations from 2010 until 2011, responsible for sales,
marketing, services and our global go-to-market strategy. Cook joined
Dialogic as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Support in 2008.
Patrick S. Jones, who was recently named to the Board, was elected to
succeed Jensen as the new non-executive Chairman of the Board. Mr. Jones
was most recently Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
Gemalto International S.A. Prior to Gemalto, he was vice president and
corporate controller at Intel Corporation and Chief Financial Officer of
LSI Corporation (formerly known as LSI Logic). Mr. Jones serves as
chairman of the boards of directors of Epocrates, Inc., and Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation and as a member of the boards of directors of
Fluidigm Corporation and InsideSecure SA. “Dialogic is entering a
dynamic period in its history and I am excited to partner with Kevin and
the entire management team to pursue the opportunities and challenges
that await us,” said Jones.
Jensen stepped down as CEO after 10 years in that position with Dialogic
and affiliated companies.
“Nick’s vision and leadership have benefitted our valued customers and
enabled Dialogic to become a global leader in Mobile Experience
Management,” said Dion Joannou, member of the Dialogic Board. “Nick
brought exceptional knowledge of the market and an intuitive sense of
how to take advantage of the rapid pace of change in telecommunications.
We recognize Nick’s lasting contributions in integrating the building
blocks that have positioned Dialogic for success in the future. We will
miss his passion, integrity and strong connection to customers,
employees and shareholders in a day to day role but are pleased that he
is remaining on the Board.
“Bringing innovation to market in order to solve long-term customer
challenges has driven my passion for Dialogic since 2002,” said Jensen.
“I’m honored to have served the company for so long and to have
developed such great relationships with the Board, our shareholders, our
customers and our employees. This is the right time to transition having
guided Dialogic through a significant evolution of its business. Kevin
has been an active partner in driving this transformation and, under his
leadership, will continue to meet the needs of over 3,000 customers in
80 countries.”
