Company grows executive team in the U.S., adds San Francisco office

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Inference Solutions, (www.inferencesolutions.com) a global leader in the delivery of cloud-based IVR and complex call handling solutions, today announced an expansion of its North American operations and subsequent additions to the company's executive team. Further signaling the significant market opportunity, CEO Callan Schebella has relocated to the U.S. and will be based out of the new office in San Francisco.

"We launched in the North American market just three years ago, and we're already working with over 25 telecom carriers globally," said Callan Schebella, Inference Solutions CEO. "Because so many of our partners are based here, a move to the U.S. was pretty much inevitable."

Supporting this growth, Inference welcomes the appointments of its Executive Vice President of Sales for the Americas, Greg Callanan, and its Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Lynne Salmon.
