Atlanta-based Movius<\/a>, a company that allows companies to assign a separate business number for voice calls and texting to any phone, today announced that it has raised a $45 million Series D round led by JPMorgan Chase, with participation from existing investors PointGuard Ventures, New Enterprise Associates and Anschutz Investment company. With this, the company has now raised a total of $100 million.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new funding, Movius also today announced that it has brought on former Adobe and Sun executive John Loiacono as its new CEO. Loiacono was also the founding CEO of network analytics startup Jolata<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Movius opportunity is pervasive. Almost every company on planet Earth is mobilizing their workforce but are challenged to find a way to securely interact with their customers and constituents using all the preferred communication vehicles \u2013 be that voice, SMS or any other channel they use in their daily lives,\u201d said Loiacono. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled because I\u2019m joining a team that features highly passionate and proven innovators who are maniacally focused on delivering this very solution. I look forward to leading this next chapter of growth for the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanjay Jain, the chief strategy officer at Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, and Larry Feinsmith, the head of JPMorgan Chase\u2019s Technology Innovation, Strategy Partnerships office, are joining the company\u2019s board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Movius currently counts more than 1,400 businesses as its customers, and its carrier partners include Sprint<\/a>, Telstra and Telefonica. What\u2019s important to note is that Movius is more than a basic VoIP app on your phone. What the company promises is a carrier-grade network that allows businesses to assign a second number to their employees\u2019 phones. That way, the employer remains in charge, even as employees bring their own devices to work.<\/p>\n
