“I am thrilled to be working with Mike Frayne again. I was privileged to work with him at Intec where, over the course of a few short years, he lead the company’s stellar growth to become one of the major players in the OSS/BSS space. If Mike can bring the same insights, imagination and energy that I witnessed there then VoluBill will be very well served indeed,” said John Aalbers, CEO of VoluBill. “Mike’s many achievements speak volumes and the specific areas of expertise that he brings; high growth, M&A and the ability to “think big” are well aligned with VoluBill’s own growth plans.” added Aalbers.

In addition to his successful leadership at Intec Telecom Systems, Mr. Frayne is also a founder of numerous other IT businesses, including international IT services group iOCORE, which employs almost 700 people globally. iOCORE was founded in South Africa in 1995 and developed operations in both Europe and Australia. The Finnish iOCORE subsidiary became a public company in 2000 and Mr. Frayne chaired this business until it was merged in 2004 to form Sentera Oy. In 2001, Mr. Frayne received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
Mr. Frayne’s other business commitments include his appointment as Director of Logan Orviss International, one of EMEA’s largest privately held telecoms consulting organisation.

Commenting on his appointment Mr. Frayne said. “I am very pleased to be joining VoluBill. This is a company with great technology, a compelling market story and a strong management team - the three key ingredients for success.” Mr. Frayne also added: “VoluBill offers operators the most innovative ways of charging for their services. The market has recognised this and VoluBill is benefiting from a fast growing list of exceptional customers and business partners. The company’s plans for the future are both ambitious and exciting and I am looking forward to making a contribution towards the achievement of those goals.”
