PCCW Teleservices, a HKT subsidiary and premier provider of global outsourcing solutions, today announced that David Shapiro as the company’s next President overseeing the operations of the US and Panama.
As a senior level executive, Shapiro’s first and foremost priority will be to strengthen PCCW’s market position as an industry leader in contact center and business process outsourcing services.

He has a strong, first hand understanding of globalization as has worked in and built businesses in the Philippines, South Africa, Australia, China, Costa Rica, Pakistan, Panama, the UK, Canada and the US.
Shapiro joins PCCW Teleservices from Dialogue Marketing where he served as the company’s Chief Sales Officer. He has spent over thirty years leading outsource service organizations and thoroughly understand business process outsourcing, business services and all aspects of contact centers. “I'm passionate about both serving clients consultatively and growing business profitably in a win/win fashion for all stake holders” said Shapiro. “I am honored to have the opportunity to now lead the Americas team as we will focus on providing leading end, multichannel engagements utilizing our contact center tools and technologies as well as data analytics to improve the customer experience of our clients’ customers.”
Shapiro succeeds Mark Attinger, who joined PCCW Teleservices as President, Americas in November 2011 and led the company through a directional change from being a solely outbound service provider to a leading inbound service provider.
“I’m proud of the resilience of PCCW Teleservices’s US and Panama team during this transition and I’m optimistic about how they will build on the successes already incurred,” said Tony Bruno, Head of PCCW Teleservices Worldwide. “I’m certain that everyone at PCCW Teleservices, Americas will be supportive of Dave as his entrepreneurial background, industry experience and strong relationship make him an excellent choice to lead PCCW Americas going forward.”
