Earlier in his career, Shanaa was co-founder and CEO of Voxify, the cloud-based speech recognition PaaS provider for enterprise contact centers, and prior to that was an early employee at MicroStrategy, a leading business intelligence, mobile software and cloud-based services provider.

Shanaa is the latest addition to the Aria senior management team, providing a foundation of experience as the company expands globally. Aria recently expanded into the Netherlands and Germany, led by Timo Brueggeman, regional sales director DACH (Deutschland, Austria and Switzerland) and Robert Loenen, regional sales director, Netherlands. Aria also has expanded its corporate executive team with the appointment of John Pora, vice president of professional services.
