ValidSoft, a voice biometric and multi-factor authentication SaaS company, today announces the appointment of Andre Davis as Vice President, of Technical Pre-Sales for the US market.

Andre Davis joins ValidSoft with over 20 years of software sales and engineering experience. He brings a wealth of technical and pre-sales experience from companies such as IntelePeer Cloud Communications, Avaya and NICE-inContact. Throughout his career, Andre has been responsible for driving growth and success at many companies. He most recently spent 2 years at IntelePeer Cloud Communications, where he held the position of Principal Solutions Engineer and was responsible for leading the CEO innovation team, “The F5,” an initiative working with visionary customers to deliver tailor-made technological solutions that address their unique business challenges.

Andre will drive strategic and tactical efforts supporting US Sales and will work across the functional team within ValidSoft to promote and influence strategic product direction supporting ValidSoft US growth strategies. He will be focused on defining, developing, managing and implementing all Pre-Sales activities and outcomes that align with ValidSoft’s vision, mission and strategic plans.

Commenting on his new role, Andre said: “This is an exciting time to be in the voice biometrics space because of the projected growth and this unique intersection we’re seeing within the C-suite, where the Chief Security Officer (CSO), Chief Experience Officer (CXO) and Head of Fraud Division are joining forces to solve a costly and inherently flawed knowledge-based authentication process. Simply put, ValidSoft Voice Biometrics uniquely aligns all three leaders’ interest by improving security, reducing fraud, and improving the customer experience journey. The opportunity to tackle such problems at scale and fundamentally do-away with traditional knowledge base authentication is an exciting and challenging opportunity to apply disruptive technology.”

“We are extremely pleased that Andre is joining the business,'' commented Dan Thornhill, SVP Global Pre/Post Sales at ValidSoft. “He’s uniquely qualified and our first strategic hire to our US Technical Pre-Sales. His customer-focused mindset, coupled with his extensive knowledge and experience in the contact center market will make him an exceptional asset to the company and we look forward to him supporting us in driving the business forward.”
