Ribbon Communications Inc. announced that Kevin Riley, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, will depart the Company effective November 6, 2020. Mr. Riley has been with Ribbon and its predecessor companies for 19 years and has served in a number of roles including Senior Vice President, Engineering and Operations and Chief Technology Officer of Sonus Networks Inc. (Sonus") prior to the formation of Ribbon through the merger of Sonus and GENBAND in 2017. As a result of Mr. Riley's departure, Ribbon intends to eliminate the role of an executive-level Chief Technology Officer and instead will divide those responsibilities between separate CTOs reporting directly to the respective general managers of the company's two current business lines.
