“I am excited to join Guavus,” said Tuomi. “The Guavus team has built a suite of innovative analytics products that provide the necessary context and clarity to allow service providers to better understand the complete customer journey. We have an opportunity to transform customer experience and service operations through the intelligent use of operations analytics.”
