Incognito Ups Will Yan to COO

Incognito Software, a provider of broadband device provisioning, IP address management and bandwidth monitoring services, has promoted William Yan to chief operating officer.

In that role, Yan will head up Incognito’s targeted sales and business goals, as well as coordinate resources as the company looks to scale up globally. He most recently served as the company’s SVP for worldwide sales.

“Over the past four years, Will’s hard work and results-driven approach has had a major influence in expanding our global market presence through the strategic development of both direct and partner sales channels,” said Stephane Bourque, president and CEO of Incognito Software, in a release. “As we continue to transition through unchartered waters in the broadband industry, Will’s day-to-day leadership and ability to foster a success-driven and collaborative environment within the company will become even more invaluable.”

Prior to joining Incognito, Yan was chief market strategist for the U.S. cable market at Allot Communications. He also served as VP of international sales at Boston-based Phyflex Networks (sold to Ciena in 2007); executive vice president of sales, marketing and business development at Auspice (sold to Arris in 2008); and served as global partner director for Oracle.

Yan holds an M.B.A. from Boston University and a science degree in Communications Management from St. Cloud State University, Minnesota. He currently resides in the Boston area.
