Meet the Leadership
General Manager
Blake Dawson
Blake Dawson takes great pride in the fact that many original clients are still at Infinity Virtual Answering after over two decades. In fact, the majority of clients who have entrusted Infinity with their business have remained for several years. Blake’s leadership, collaborative nature, and dedication to exceptional service have also cultivated remarkably long-standing relationships with staff. Unlike similar organizations, Infinity has an incredibly experienced and loyal team, with a third of the current staff employed since the organization’s beginning.
As General Manager of Infinity, Blake is largely responsible for the strategic direction and technological investments of the company. Having started his career with a large communications enterprise, Blake came to understand the value of corporate communications, and the impact that technology had on consumer relations. Since Infinity’s inception, Blake has maintained and expanded his knowledge of communications technology, ensuring that Infinity offers the latest and best available solutions and services to their clients. Blake maintains membership with several business, professional, and industry associations and is highly engaged in various telecommunications technology networks.
