David Gurle

CEO

Symphony

Author, inventor and leader, David’s ideas have influenced the major trends in enterprise communications over the last 15 years. He defined Microsoft’s unified communications strategy (Skype for Business) and as head of collaboration services at Thomson Reuters introduced federated communications to the financial services industry. Before founding Perzo/Symphony, he was VP and GM of Skype’s Enterprise Business. In terms of Symphony's current status in the Japanese market and strategy for expansion, we have just hired our first Tokyo-based employee who will be focused on engaging and expanding the Japanese Symphony community. APAC as a region has been a primary focus for the company throughout 2017, underscored with David's move to Singapore earlier this year.
