TSIG Places Hopes in New Execs
By: By Theresa Howard

With an executive reorganization and recent
string of transactions poised to help it grow,
TeleServices International Group Inc., has
shifted gears onto the fast track of the $8
billion outsourced industry.

The St. Petersburg, FL, company that got its
start in 1992 handling 800 calls for various
state visitors and convention bureaus, is
aggressively pursuing publishing,
telecommunications and utilities, insurance
firms and the financial industry as part of its
portfolio of clients.

Heading the effort is a recently tapped roster of
new executives that has landed Alyce
Cucurullo, chief operating officer; Catherine
Krell, vice president marketing
communications, Jeannie Lewin, vice president
sales. Cucurullo, a former executive vice
president and chief operating officer of IQI Inc.,
had been serving as a management consultant to
TSIG since April. She will report to TSIG
chairman and chief executive, Robert Gordon.

The new lineup stabilizes the company's
management which had been in flux based on
the departures of two top executives and
consultant stints that had been prevalent at the
company. Steve McLean, formerly chief
executive, and Ray Wilson, the company's
former chief financial officer recently exited the
company to launch Sienna Limited Partnerhsip,
a holding company that has not ties to TSIG.

"The new management team has proven track
records within their individual industry
expertise," said Gordon in a statement about the
executive appointments. "They are committed
to growing TSIG and its subsidiaries into a
premier outsourced teleservices provider."

The company, which in late April acquired
direct marketing music company Compact
Connection Inc., is targeting growth through
inbound teleservices business and a focus on
sales, order capture, customer service, product
support, billing assistance and direct response
advertising. With its acquisition of Compact
Connection, the company is also eyeing the
expansion of that business which in 1997
tallied $11 million in revenue and $800,000, a
seven percent jump, in net income. CCI is
reportedly one of the top-10 largest direct music
marketers in the United States.

Additionally, TSIG last month inked a five-year
deal to handle a crisis hotline with Recovery
Network, a counseling services organization
currently operated by the federal government
that uses radio, television and the Internet to
link individuals with local assistance resources.
TSIG will deploy professionally trained crisis
management agents for TeleCare calls.

"This team is building our business for
long-term success. They are a focused, cohesive
team that has a clear vision of the tasks ahead,"
Gordon added. Additional management
appointments include Timothy Heideman as the
company's director of call center operations;
Richard Olson, who was named vice president
account management and customer service.
Darrell Piercy was also named as president, of
Compact Connection, which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of TSIG.
