WARWICK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 12, 2013) - Alteva (previously referred to as WVT Communications Group) (NYSE MKT: ALTV), the parent company of leading cloud communications pioneers, announces today that its Chief Financial Officer, Brian Callahan, has been named an Executive Management Award winner for 2013, by SmartCEO. The Executive Management Awards program recognizes the achievements of Greater Philadelphia's management all-stars. Winners are recognized for their creative management vision, leadership philosophy, innovative strategy and undeniable work ethic.

"I'm thrilled to be among this prestigious group of award winners," comments Callahan. "Alteva has made fantastic strides in recent years to become one of the top ten largest hosted IP telephony and UC providers in North America. To be recognized by SmartCEO for this award is more of a testimony to the organization as a whole, not one person. We are all honored."

Alteva is a cloud-based Unified Communications (UC) solutions provider that delivers UC solutions including Voice over IP phone systems and service (VoIP PBX), hosted Microsoft Communication Services, fixed mobile convergence, and advanced voice applications for the desktop.

The Executive Management Awards highlight chief executives who have gone above and beyond to support their organizations' initiatives. SmartCEO profiles chief executives in the Mid-Atlantic in four categories: CFO, CIO/CTO, COO and CXO. SmartCEO accepts award applications online and via email, which are reviewed by an independent panel of business leaders who select winners based on the quality of the nominations. Each year, the winners are profiled in Philadelphia SmartCEO magazine and celebrated at an awards reception in March.

"All too often, senior leaders in an organization become unsung heroes. This is why SmartCEO designed the Executive Management Awards. The 2013 EMA winners are not only taking their companies and co-workers to new heights, but they are also leaders within the communities where we work and live," says Jaime Nespor, group publisher of SmartCEO magazine. "We are honored to award each of these individuals and tell the stories of their achievements and contributions."

Over 350 local C-level guests will celebrate this elite group of executives at an award ceremony on March 14, 2013 at The Crystal Tea Room.
