Tellier, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yellow Pages Group. "The substantial growth of our digital teams and centralization of our service teams reiterates our commitment to accelerating our digital transformation and to providing our clients access to quality service and expertise."
The clerical arm of the company's print publishing operations in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania will also be relocated to YPG's offices in Indianapolis, Indiana and Toronto, Ontario.
Daily operations including client account services will be unaffected by these changes.
YPG currently employs approximately 2,800 people and has added over 100 new digital media and technology positions within the company over the last year.
