RCG Hires New Director of Sales

RCG, a single-source telecom solutions provider based in Franklin, has announced the hiring of Richard Brown to lead the firm’s business development efforts as director of sales.

Brown joins RCG after working as a senior solutions architect for the IT and cloud services company, Cloudsmartz. There he assisted in the company’s launch of agent carrier services nationwide. Brown also worked in a number of successful sales positions with local communications companies, including Level 3 Communications and XO Communications. At Level 3, Brown grew sales by more than $238,000 in just two years. During his seven-year tenure at XO, he grew monthly billed revenue from $1 million to $2.7 million.

As RCG’s director of sales, Brown will lead the company’s effort to grow its sales force and secure new business.

“Rich spent nearly a decade as a telecommunications network engineer and technical consultant before transitioning into full-time sales roles.” said Melinda Curran, founder and CEO of RCG. “Because of that background and his evident work ethic and integrity, I know our clients will view Rich as a trusted partner for their business – not just a solutions provider. He’s already a natural fit for our team, and we’re excited to see what he will accomplish.”

Brown earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tulsa.
