After almost three years he moved back to NSC Group for five years where he was an account director. In 2014, he moved to ShoreTel where he has been a client sales executive for the Northern Region for the past two and a half years.
Albrecht will be based in Sydney and will be responsible for new business development, account management and partner engagement. He will report to Australia and New Zealand managing director Kristen Pimpini.
Pimpini said the appointment of Albrecht was an important step in the company's growth plans.
Aspect Software has gone through a transformation with the launch of it cloud-based customer engagement platform, which also led to the company's local expansion and staff hires.
