and Executive Team
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSG
International (NASDAQ: CSGS), a global provider of interactive
transaction-driven solutions and services, announces that it will add
cable industry veteran Marwan Fawaz to its board of directors, and
promote Ken Kennedy to executive vice president of product development.
Both leaders will begin their new roles on March 1, 2016.
CSG built a solid working relationship with Marwan Fawaz during his time
as executive vice president and chief executive officer of Motorola
Mobility, and as the executive vice president of strategy and operations
and chief technology officer at Charter Communications, one of CSG's
longest-standing client relationships. With more than 25 years of
experience in the media, cable, telecommunications and broadband
industries, Fawaz will bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to
CSG's board of directors, developed from his time at Charter as well as
executive roles at Google/Motorola Mobility, Adelphia Communications and
MediaOne, among others.
"Marwan Fawaz has first-hand knowledge of the inner workings and needs
of CSG's strategic markets, and he will bring an insider's perspective
that will help CSG align to address the challenges that these dynamic
industries face," said Don Reed, chairman of CSG International's board
of directors.
Currently, Fawaz is a board member of Synacor and an advisory board
member of ADT, Liberty Global and Guavus, in addition to founder and
principal of Sarepta Advisors, a strategic advisory and consulting group
supporting the technology, media and telecommunications industries.
In addition, Ken Kennedy, CSG's current chief technology officer and
senior vice president of product management, development and operations,
will become the executive vice president of product development. His
promotion is in recognition of his work to define CSG's technology
roadmap and align the company's technical vision with its business
strategy. Kennedy has managed CSG's software development organization
and has had responsibility for various aspects of developing and
implementing technology initiatives related to CSG's product offerings
over the past 10 years.
"Ken's expertise and vision has led us to develop new innovations in our
solutions portfolio that enable our clients to have more agile and
dynamic operations. His promotion is an acknowledgment of the value that
he brings to the future of our organization and to our clients
worldwide," said Bret Griess, president and chief executive officer of
CSG International.
Prior to CSG, Kennedy was a founder and vice president of software
development and professional services for Telution, a company that he
