Barendrecht, The Netherlands, Cologne, Germany and Boston, USA: VeliQ has strenghtened its management team following a record year in which it achieved a 250% increase in revenue. Edgar Jager, formerly at SAP, has been named Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales. Steve Crummey, who previously held this position, has been promoted to Chair of the Board of Directors. In his new role, Steve will guide the company to new uncharted territory. Furthermore, as of last autumn, Ron van Bijsterveld holds the position of Chief Technology Officer. With this reinforcement of the management team, VeliQ intends to build on the success of its increased revenue growth via a fast-growing global partner program.
International breakthrough
In his role as Vice President at SAP, Edgar Jager was responsible for developing OEM business and third party software in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) for six years. Previously, he held senior management positions for a number of years at Adobe Corporation, Macromedia and Blue Martini Software. "I see this as just the start of an international breakthrough for VeliQ, thanks to collaboration with large partners such as Portugal Telecom, SAP and Vimpelcom," says Jager. "It is a wonderful new challenge to be able to lead the team and partners who will realize VeliQ’s aspirations in terms of growth."
Record year with 250% increase in revenue
"Our mission is to make the management of all mobile devices within organizations as simple and secure as possible," says Alex Bausch, CEO and founder of VeliQ. "To facilitate that, we have developed a complete mPaaS (mobility Platform-as-a-Service) solution that is being used increasingly by partners across the world for their client mobility solutions. In 2013, a record year in which we achieved in excess of 250% growth in revenue, we also succeeded in identifying the best people capable of strengthening VeliQ’s profile globally. Both Edgar Jager and Ron van Bijsterveld possess the requisite experience, as well as a valuable network of contacts."
