Reporting to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vasili Triant and based out of the company's Texas headquarters, Byal will be responsible for all elements of LiveOps Cloud's global financial, treasury and accounting operations.

"LiveOps Cloud is experiencing remarkable growth," said Triant. "The importance of a strong financial expert to help guide us during this time cannot be overstated. Jeff's experience in all aspects of finance, from accounting to financing to M&A to strategic planning, will have a tremendous impact on the company. I am delighted to welcome Jeff to the team and look forward to his financial leadership and contributions across the organization."

"The contact center space is poised for hyper growth and convergence as enterprise migration of legacy software to the cloud continues," said Byal. "LiveOps Cloud is one of only a few recognized global leaders in an otherwise fragmented market, and is in an incredibly strong position to capitalize on these disruptive trends with continued growth investments over the next 12-18 months.
