Initially an engineer, Mr. Mihaila has spent 15 years in the cloud communications industry and has developed cloud services at scale for Fortune 100 customers including Five9, Verizon, and Avaya.
Based in North America, Mr Mihaila’s focus at Symbio will be to drive the company’s CPaaS strategy, directly contributing to Symbio’s vision to have 100 million numbers on network by 2030. His leadership and deep knowledge of the Asian market will also be valuable in contributing to the execution of Symbio’s expansion in the APAC region.

There exists a huge opportunity, particularly in Asia, to work with customers to integrate real-time communication into their businesses. I strongly believe in the central role CPaaS plays in the future of connectivity.
“Symbio’s ambitious strategy and impressive global client base provide a unique opportunity for growth in the APAC region. I believe my experience, together with the fantastic team Rene has built, positions me well to lead this division through its next evolution of growth.”
