SpinVox, the founder and global leader in Voice-to-Screen messaging, announces the addition of Nicolas Herrera to the Americas team to further position the company for expansion in Latin America. Herrera joins from Verisign in Mexico City and will be a sales director – Latin America for SpinVox.

“We are now operating with a dozen carriers on four continents with our voice to text services available in Spanish, English, French and German,” says Christina Domecq, co-founder and CEO of SpinVox. “Nicholas has an excellent reputation for helping telecom carriers implement the latest technology into their networks with outstanding results. We are counting on his expertise to guide us into new markets in Central and South America.”

Prior to his role with SpinVox, Herrera was the senior territory manager for Verisign for two years.

SpinVox is currently developing a Portuguese conversion capability which, combined with existing capabilities in Spanish, French, German and English, will accelerate adoption of its various voice to screen services for any Latin market. The carrier currently provides Spanish language conversion services for Vodafone Spain and in the U.S. with Alltel.
