Joe Parent (Joe) is a veteran telecom marketer who likes to proclaim (only half in jest) that he has fought virtually every fire in Canadian telecom history! As Vice-President of Marketing & Business Development at Vonage Canada, Mr. Parent is helping to fan the flames of consumer interest in internet telephony. Through savvy product marketing and meticulous brand management, Mr. Parent will ensure that Vonage Canada is the internet telephony provider of choice for Canadian consumers and businesses.
Mr. Parent's prior experience has prepared him well for his role at Vonage Canada. Not only did he help develop VoIP, Teleconference and Wireless Access product offerings at Primus Telecommunications Canada, he also directed the Voice Long Distance Service for Sprint Canada, where he championed new initiatives for product enhancements, market expansion and segmentation and call centre improvements. Mr. Parent has a BA in Economics from the University of Windsor and an MBA specializing in international marketing from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
Mr. Parent's precious few free moments are devoted to his wife and two daughters, aged 7 and 2. His passion for golf, hockey, baseball, fiction novels and auto racing (spectating, not driving) will be resurrected when he learns to function entirely without sleep, or when he learns how to lengthen the day to 30 hours.
