COMPTEL: Martin Group Welcomes New VP of Operations

Martin Group (Booth 713) has added Eugene McCord to its management team as vice president of operations.

A direct report to Martin Group CEO Jim Odom, McCord will manage the company's customer-facing operations including activations, software support, business services, IT, quality assurance and training.

McCord was a founding stockholder of PrairieWave Communications and served as its CIO and vice president until it was acquired by Knology in the spring of 2007. During his time there, he spearheaded two con-versions of PrairieWave's operation to Martin Group's BSS/OSS Software Suite. McCord also led several initiatives at PrairieWave to develop procedures that emphasized workflow management, operational efficiencies gained by flow-through provisioning and consolidating information while making it available to cross-functional departments in a single system.
