Clique, a Reston, Virginia-based CPaaS company which processes over 500 million minutes of conversation per month, is excited to announce its new Chief Strategy Officer, Kris Hopkins. Hopkins brings to Clique over 17 years of engineering, sales, and executive experience in the WebRTC and communication space. Most recently, Hopkins was Chief Product & Strategy Officer @ CafeX, an enterprise collaboration company, but he has also held leadership making roles at Acme Packet and Oracle. An entrepreneur by nature, Kris spent 12 years building his own successful telecom and software businesses.

"My experience across all of communications has led me to the understanding that voice is the decision-making medium of the enterprise," Hopkins stated. "In working with Clique, I plan to make voice more seamless and workflow more efficient for our millions of users around the world."

Clique CEO Andy Powers identified Hopkins as a powerful addition to the team. "Kris' deep experience in both the sales and engineering aspects of the communications business make him the perfect candidate to lead Clique's technology strategy going forward. His reputation in the industry is second to none, and his bleeding edge insights on the future of communications will spark continued innovation here at Clique."

The addition of Hopkins to the team comes as Clique has grown to serve over 3,000 enterprises, and is expanding both its global footprint and innovation arm, CliqueLabs. Hopkins will play a major role in both of these initiatives, as well as work with the Clique engineering team to identify and develop features for the platform to keep it at the forefront of the industry.
