Stanya was responsible for selecting carriers managing the implementation of local voice, dedicated long distance and Internet T-1 services. "As the IT Director, Telcombrokers became a huge asset to me. They were able to present several cost effective options for our business in a non threatening sales kind of way and offered recommendations I could trust."

Looking for new challenges, Stanya decided to join the Telcombrokers team to help others who were in her position. Having been on both sides of the table, Stanya clearly understands clients' needs. She is a firm believer in the Telcombrokers model because "they demonstrated their knowledge of countless products that I never knew existed that would benefit my company and their commitment to customer service was second to none". Her commitment is to work with other IT Directors and Business Owners to provide them with the utmost in customer care, knowledge of products, and best pricing to be the single source to help companies make informed and cost effective decisions.
