Mitel taps another C-suite asset from Atos

Charles-Henry Duroyon, former SVP at Atos and COO of recently acquired Unify joins Mitel

Business comms vendor, Mitel, has appointed Charles-Henry Duroyon as chief operating officer (COO).

Duroyon will oversee Mitel's global business operations, supply chain, and data privacy office, as well as lead the company's strategic planning and M&A initiatives.

With Mitel's recent acquisition of Unify and goals of further market share expansion, Duroyon will focus on developing operational strategies that support company growth initiatives and optimise organisational efficiency.

Duroyon brings knowledge of international markets from prior leadership roles as chief human resources officer, COO, and CEO in a variety of industries.

In his previous role as SVP at Atos Tech Foundation, he led corporate development and transformation efforts, including chairing the sale of Unify to Mitel concluded in September 2023.

Prior to that, Duroyon served as Global COO of Unify where he was responsible for supply chain, IT, quality, performance excellence, cloud partnerships, and strategic planning.

He was also formerly CEO of Fastviewer, a cloud company specialising in remote support and web collaboration.

"Operational excellence is central to Mitel's growth strategy and the addition of a senior operations leader to our executive team reflects that focus," said Tarun Loomba, Mitel president and CEO.

"In addition to his deep knowledge of the Unify business, Charles-Henry brings significant experience leading organisations through transformation and a well-developed global perspective that will help Mitel accelerate current priorities and build a foundation for long-term success."

Duroyon also commented on his appointment: "With the recent addition of Unify, Mitel has demonstrated a clear commitment to the communications space and laid a path for an exciting future.

"I look forward to working with this talented team to ensure customers continue to have exceptional experiences with Mitel solutions and services for many years to come."
