Karen Putz Named To National VCO Position

CLEARWATER, Fla. [June 1, 2009] — ZVRS has named Karen Putz as its Z Video Solutions manager responsible for national voice carry-over (VCO) services. She also serves as sales manager for Illinois.

“We are delighted to have Karen take on a leadership role for our national VCO services,” said Tim Rarus, ZVRS vice president of sales. “As a VCO user herself, Karen understands the unique needs and challenges of these customers. Her dedication to customer service will greatly benefit The Z™ VCO users.”

Putz joined the company in October 2008 as a VCO outreach specialist, becoming sales manager in January 2009. The position involves working with deaf and hard of hearing customers to meet their videophone needs and managing a team of Z Specialists, who are responsible for installing Z products for customers.

In her new role, Putz provides nationwide outreach, focusing on customers who use VCO services. ZVRS specializes in one-line VCO, enabling customers to use their voice with Z products without the need for a second phone or additional phone line, a requirement when using many other VCO products.

“I love my work at ZVRS. There’s nothing more thrilling than seeing a customer connect with others via our Z products and services,” said Putz. “I work with a great team, and I enjoy having many different opportunities to work with deaf and hard of hearing individuals from all over the U.S.”
