“We are excited to welcome Scott to the Board,” said Shaul Shani, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.  “Scott’s extensive experience at AT&T, one of the world’s largest service providers, will be an incredible asset for Ribbon.  He brings an in-depth understanding of 5G mobile networks, IP and Optical systems engineering, cybersecurity and network operations that will greatly benefit the company and provide the Board with valuable perspective and insight as we continue to grow and expand our business.”

Mr. Mair’s accomplishments during his over 37-year career at AT&T include launching the first standards-based mobile 5G network and building and operating the U.S. Public Safety’s first dedicated, nationwide communications platform for America’s police, firefighters, EMS and first responders.
