EXECUTIVE TEAM

PATRICK WATRISS

Chief Executive Officer

In the year 2000, after spending 10 years on Wall Street, Patrick Watriss recognized the potential of the Internet to provide a whole new way of utilizing outsourcing as a means to help businesses reduce costs and gain greater productivity.

With a focus on the Telecom industry, Mr. Watriss wanted to help businesses get away from all the logistics and expense of installing and maintaining a Phone System in their office – i.e. a premise based solution. In the year 2000, Mr. Watriss purchased a traditional Phone System provider and spent the next several years experimenting with the ability to move away from premise based solutions to a “hosted” solution in which multiple businesses could share a comprehensive Phone system with many more functions and features, for a fraction of the cost.

Confident that the hosting model had become dependable and reliable, Mr. Watriss founded Hosted Solutions in 2005. Today, Hosted Solutions provides business customers all over the world with one of the most reliable, feature-rich, lowest cost, state of the art, Hosted Phone Systems Services available.

Mr. Watriss graduated from with a BA in Business from the University of Colorado. A fierce competitor, he actively plays tennis and squash, skis, and runs. His volunteer and charitable endeavors include Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Denver Rescue Mission and Brent’s Place.
