Being on the Hero board has always been so special to me!

A message from Denis: This month I celebrated 22 years working with my partner Comtel Communications. When we started this journey, long distance was a $160 Billion per year industry and frame relay was the sexy data network. To give you a sense of how long ago that feels-- Believe from Cher was the #1 Billboard single, The Sopranos was in it’s first season, and highest grossing film was about a boy who could see dead people in The Sixth Sense.

The one constant over the years has been a rate of change and the Comtel team has built an entire culture that embraces that change. Back then we had dozens of vendors, now we have hundreds with amazing tools to help our customers through the journey of evaluating and managing technology vendors. Comtel’s Client Services team is simply the best in the business and they play such an integral role with our customer experience.

We are on a never ending journey to improve customer experiences in an fast changing industry where the vendors often cannot get out of their own way.

Ben, Amy, Pete and the rest of the Comtel/Simplicity team – I sincerely appreciate your partnership and your friendships.

Many of you know that I serve on the Board of There Goes My Hero, a blood cancer nonprofit founded by my good friend Erik Sauer. His life was saved when a girl he did not know from Germany donated bone marrow to help him fight leukemia. Her name is Isabel and she is a HERO.

This October, my fellow board members and other volunteers and I raised money as part of the virtual HeroPalooza. I participated with my daughter in support of Hero so that they can continue to do amazing things. Over the last ten years we have:

21,755 people added to the bone marrow registry
151,552 meals delivered to patients
365 bone marrow matches found
42 life saving bone marrow transplants

You can still contribute to this effort at my donation page: https://theregoesmyhero.salsalabs.org/heropalooza5k/p/denisodonovan/index.html

That text you got about a package isn’t from FedEx. It’s a scam! Although these texts can look convincing, there are generally signs that suggest a scam.

The “smishing” campaign starts by asking users to set up delivery preferences and ends with a request for credit card information.
