Abramson the Kingmaker

by alec on January 2, 2008

You've got to hand it to Andy Abramson.  He's got a finger in every pie at some of the most innovative voice startups in the world. He hobnobs with the who's who of the VoIP world ranging from big carriers to tiny startups and everywhere in between.  And, to top it all off, VoIP-News named him to their list of the top 20 VoIP influencers for 2007

Perhaps the greatest testament to Andy's influence, however, is to be found in the list itself.  No fewer than 7 of the folks listed on that list are in some way related to or clients of Andy's agency, Comunicano.

Not bad.  Not bad at all.

And congratulations to my friends Jeff Pulver, Thomas Howe, Lee Drysburgh, the Digium Team, Stephane Marceau, Craig Walker, and James Body, all of whom were similarly recognized.

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
