They also put a big focus on keeping out unwanted calls, making them a prominent figure in call security.

Major phone companies in the U.S. and even big, successful businesses trust First Orion (News - Alert) to improve customer interactions and set new standards for the industry. To continue to enhance innovation and market leadership at First Orion, the company promoted Joe Stinziano to the role of President and CEO, effective May 1.

Over the course of his career that spans over three decades, Stinziano held multiple executive leadership roles, including a 12-year stint at Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics America as Corporate Executive Vice President of the Consumer and Enterprise Business Division. He also held multiple positions at AT&T (News - Alert), Sony Electronics and D&M Holdings.

He joined First Orion as president and chief operating officer in July 2022, and his leadership led to the successful implementation of groundbreaking technologies that safeguard consumer privacy, enhance corporate communication strategies and bring transparency to communications.

Under his leadership, First Orion also expanded INFORM branded calling and new out-of-band solutions such as INFORM PAIRED and SENTRY and expanded strategic relationships to bring branded communication solutions to all major U.S. carrier networks, as well as multiple international partnerships.

These initiatives have firmly established First Orion as a driving force in enhancing consumer trust and transparency in communications across the globe.

Because of Stinziano's leadership, First Orion will become a much bigger player in the telecommunications industry. His clear plans and determined work ethic will make the company more innovative and successful.
