Christophe's appointment comes shortly after Toku's recent Series A extension[2], reaffirming the company's commitment to become APAC's leading cloud communications and customer experience (CX) solutions provider.
As COO, Christophe is responsible for boosting Toku's business momentum and expanding its portfolio of leading cloud communications solutions as it builds its local presence across more territories in APAC.

Prior to joining Toku, Christophe served as COO at Wavecell from 2017 to 2019, where he led and scaled the cloud communications firm from a fledgling start-up to a strong regional business. In 2019, Wavecell was acquired by 8x8, and Christophe stepped up to his most recent role of vice president of its global CPaaS business unit.
Over his five-year tenure at both companies, Christophe established a proven track record of delivering against business targets and priorities in fast-moving SaaS environments. He also has extensive experience in leading rapidly scaling companies throughout his start-up journey.
Christophe has worked at technology companies across Europe and Silicon Valley, building his reputation as a results-focused business leader with brands like SAP and Nokia.
Commenting on his appointment, Christophe said, "I'm thrilled to join Toku at such a critical juncture of its growth. As more APAC consumers come online, businesses look to trusted partners like Toku to help them chart their next-generation CX strategies. I firmly believe that Toku is one of the few companies in APAC best positioned to ride this digital wave and redefine what CX means for each and every brand and customer."
