Mavenir has appointed Jitin Bhandari as Executive Vice President of NeoCloud Platform and Forward Deployment Engineering. In this new role, Bhandari will spearhead the company’s expansion into the NeoCloud market and establish a Forward Deployment Engineering practice to serve both communications service providers and NeoCloud customers.
