Through the addition of industry leaders with deep marketing expertise, 8×8 is executing on its strategic initiatives to accelerate go-to-market efforts, advance global brand awareness, increase customer demand, and speed time to revenue for the company’s truly unified communications solutions. 8×8 now delivers one unified platform for cloud communications, collaboration tools, video conferencing, and contact center solutions to improve IT efficiency and reduce headaches; one seamless communications experience for employees and customers; and one real-time data analytics platform for constant learning and improvement.

Under the leadership of Rani Hublou, 8×8 has committed to building a world-class global marketing organization to increase adoption and global expansion of the company’s industry-leading truly unified communications solutions. Recent marketing executive hires include:

  • Milan Martin, Vice President of Global Brand and Marketing Communications, is responsible for 8×8’s brand globally and leads teams across advertising, marketing communications, public relations, analyst relations, customer advocacy and corporate events. He has more than 20 years of advertising and marketing experience and was most recently President at Grey Global Group. Martin has formerly held executive-level positions across two continents, leading large-scale marketing initiatives for dozens of Fortune 500 brands, including IBM, Symantec, AT&T, Anheuser Busch, Procter & Gamble, and Motorola.
  • Lynn Porterfield, Vice President of US Midmarket Demand Generation, is responsible for working in lockstep with sales leadership to help increase the sales pipeline in the midmarket. She has more than 20 years of experience leading marketing teams at some of the world’s largest companies such as IBM and Citigroup.
