March 2021 by Marc Jacob
Opengear has appointed John Svenson its new Regional Sales Manager Nordics. As IT organisations increasingly value comprehensive out-of-band management, Svensson will use his extensive experience to continue Opengear’s rapid expansion across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. The appointment comes amid record revenue growth for Opengear across the entire EMEA region. In the last 12 months, Opengear has acquired more than 200 new customers, signed up 14 new distributors, and expanded headcount by 20%. Financial services, banking, telecom, higher education, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil and gas, local and central government, computer gaming, online gambling, technology, and managed services are all sectors where Opengear has seen significant customer growth.
Recently, Opengear has pursued a programme of dynamic channel transformation, significantly extending the network of organisations it works with across Europe. In the Nordics region, Opengear signed a new agreement with Copenhagen-based SEC Datacom and extended its relationship with Exclusive Networks, a pan-European distributor for Opengear. Svensson’s appointment continues Opengear’s strategic shift toward local sales and presales expertise to increase business opportunities and expand collaboration with distribution companies, systems integrators, and managed services providers.
