Bio
William Balvanz
Zena is the type of leader you want in place when the chips are down. She has an uncanny ability to break apart a process or a structure and sort out what pieces can be salvaged and what must be changed, resulting in improvement in efficiency and efficacy. I have had the pleasure of working with Zena at ANPI, where she was my mentor as we rolled on with Hosted UC service delivery, training, and customer service demands in what was, for all intents and purposes, a start-up environment. I could not have picked a better mentor at that time, and I have faith that all those who she guides will be better off for her leadership and wisdom.
