EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT

Monica Martino, CTO

Each month, we will highlight a different Accudata employee in Good Call. In our inaugural issue, we are pleased to introduce you to CTO and co-founder, Monica Martino.

With more than 16 years of telecommunications industry experience and a knack for solving complicated telecom engineering problems, Monica is the ideal CTO for the company she co-founded in 1989. She served as president and CEO until turning over the reigns to Greg Smith in early 2002, so she could focus her attentions on expanding the capabilities of the company’s technology. In 1998, Monica established her expertise by applying her knowledge of SS7 technology and Line Information Database (LIDB) storage to create services used for validation of telephone calls from many types of facilities. Prior to founding Accudata Technologies, Monica served as founding president of Easyfax Inc., where she acquired a design patent on a public fax machine. While with Accudata, her experience also includes working with Intellicall, Protel, Elecotel and Omniphone. She has served on the board of the Texas Payphone Association, the Self-Sufficiency Committee of the City of Plano, and as a Squadron Commander with the Civil Air Patrol

Monica is a co-author of Accudata’s pending patents, and has other patents in progress. She likes inventing, and she tends to putter in her “lab.” Watch for future innovation from her office.

Some of Monica’s interests outside of work include: home improvement, yoga, weight training, volleyball, trips to Las Vegas, movies, cruises, and listening to audio books. Don’t get her started talking about the Harry Potter series! Monica is single and lives in Plano, Texas, just north of Dallas.
