Rakuten Mobile on Tuesday announced new milestones in its plans to bring the Rakuten Communications Platform (RCP) to international markets.
To launch these global efforts, Rakuten Mobile has established its international headquarters in Singapore as both a development center for RCP and the central hub for global sales and marketing. Global sales and marketing will be led by newly-appointed Rabih Dabboussi.
Rabih Dabboussi joined Rakuten Mobile in May 2020 to lead RCP’s global sales and marketing efforts from its newly established international headquarters in Singapore. Dabboussi brings more than two decades of experience in the mobile industry to Rakuten Mobile, including a 20 year career at Cisco in diverse roles of R&D, technical consulting, and business leadership.
To support global sales and marketing for Rakuten Mobile’s RCP offering, the company plans to establish a U.S. entity in California that will serve as a hub for international business expansion in the Americas. The U.S. entity will be led by Azita Arvani, General Manager, Rakuten Mobile, Americas.
