Van Der Breggen offers incredible value for strategic commercialization so the timing of this addition couldn’t be better.” Van Der Breggen started his career at Dutch Telecom incumbent KPN rising to Vice President IP Services then went on to work at SES, one of the world’s leading satellite operators, as the VP of Account Management.
