For the third year in a row, Bill Pereira, CEO of IDT Telecom, has been awarded a place in the Global Telecoms Business Power 100, the international list of the 100 most powerful and influential people in telecoms.<\/p>\n
Now in its seventh year, the Global Telecoms Business Power 100 list compiles the most powerful and influential executives in the industry, selecting nominations from the readers of the publication – including CEOs, CFOs and other senior executives of the world\u2019s major operators, telecoms vendors and industry organizations.<\/p>\n
Bill Pereira has been CEO, President and Co-Chairman of IDT Telecom since 2011. Over the past 12 months Pereira has continued to drive the growth of IDT\u2019s core voice services while developing new revenue streams from payment services, apps and other offerings.<\/p>\n
Pereira commented on his nomination, \u201cIt is a great honor to be recognized as an international leader in the industry, but I don\u2019t view it as an individual accolade. It is much more a reflection of the work of our IDT team of 1,200 employees around the globe. Through their contributions, IDT has become a leading global carrier, and I am confident we will continue to take the company to new heights in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under Pereira\u2019s leadership, IDT now terminates 30 billion minutes per year, and has formed and strengthened key relationships with all of the world\u2019s major carriers. This past year he oversaw the expansion of IDT into the money remittance business as well as the launch of the Boss Revolution mobile app. The award winning app enables customers all around the world to connect across borders with one-touch dialing of their contacts, with no contracts and low rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
