Intelisys Promotes Rick Ribas to SVP

Intelisys Communications, has promoted Rick Ribas to senior vice president, East Region. Ribas joined Intelisys in 2010 as vice president.

“Rick embodies the Intelisys spirit of putting our Sales Partners first, in everything,” said Jay Bradley, Intelisys President. “He was initially recruited to, in part, help facilitate Intelisys’ growth into new markets and deliver unique revenue opportunities to our sales partners, and he has exceeded those expectations. He has expanded and developed a tremendous team, and his success all comes back to that singular focus: it’s about our sales partners.”

In his five years with Intelisys, Ribas has contributed to record-breaking annual revenue growth of 43 percent, on average, for the East Region, leading to the build of a Connecticut office, which opened in December 2015.

“Each achievement, each new rung of the ladder, takes me back to the foundation of what Intelisys is all about,” said Ribas. “The Intelisys community is a big family, genuinely; and I consider it an honor to serve such an incredible group of Sales Partners, and am grateful for the opportunity to work with the best colleagues in the industry,” said Ribas. “As the channel continues to evolve, we have no intention of slowing down. We will continue to seek out and identify new opportunities and find new and better ways to exceed the expectations of our sales partners on a daily basis.”

Ribas brings nearly 30 years of telecom channel and master agency experience to his role as SVP. He entered the industry in 1987 when he founded Online Communications, which was later sold to OneStar Communications.
