Lowell, MA, June 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetNumber announced today its chief operating officer Steve Legge has been recognized as a 10 Best COOs for 2020 by IndustryEra Magazine for leadership work in driving the company’s continued transition to an Agile business and delivering the industry’s first cloud-native, InterGENerational™ platform for telcos earlier this month. COOs selected for this honor are striving to overcome the global challenges to ensure their companies are prepared for the future.
