(OTC: PRIM), a diversified holding company with early-mover initiatives in the smart card, telecommunications, and wireless auction space, today announced the appointment of Edwin Quintana as interim CEO of UniQuest Communications, Inc., its telecom subsidiary.
Mr. Quintana will be drawing on his many years of experience and relationships at both the direct marketing and executive levels in the telecom industry to accelerate the repositioning of UniQuest Communications in the lucrative diversity markets for local and long-distance phone services.
"UniQuest is extremely well-positioned to leverage the ever-expanding Hispanic demographics in local and long-distance telecom markets through affinity programs with Hispanic associations and through new PTT arrangements in Latin America," said Mr. Quintana. "I am already engaged in discussions to expand UniQuest's share of the Hispanic telecommunications market here in the United States, and I am currently negotiating contracts for new business in Latin America and the Caribbean."
Mr. Quintana began his career in the telecom industry in 1989 as an account representative with MCI where he created the first vertical market for Hispanic accounts and implemented the first point-to-point services to Mexico. While at MCI, Mr. Quintana was recognized as the number one account representative in the country three years in a row-1990, 1991, 1992. He was also winner of the MCI Chairman's Inner Circle Award several years running. Moving on from MCI in 1995, Mr. Quintana went on to several leading positions in the telecom industry, including Executive Vice President of CaribeSat, Inc., a leading Puerto Rico telecommunications company. In 1999 Mr. Quintana returned to MCI-Worldcom as manager of international markets.
