IBasis promotes Van lerland

Burlington's iBasis Inc., a wholesale carrier of international long-distance telephone calls, announced today that it has named Edwin van Ierland as senior vice president of sales.

Van Ierland joined the company in September in conjunction with the company's transaction with Dutch national carrier Royal KPN, which resulted in the acquisition of KPN Global Carrier Services by iBasis, iBasis said.

Van Ierland replaces Dan Powdermaker, iBasis said.

"We're grateful for Dan Powdermaker's hard work and many accomplishments on behalf of iBasis, and we wish him well in the future," iBasis president and chief executive Ofer Gneezy said in a statement. "We look forward to Edwin's leadership as we integrate the expanded global sales team and address the tremendous market opportunities before us."
