CloudCraze Launches EMEA HQs, Hires Enterprise Software Expert to Lead International Expansion
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
With Demand Across Europe at an All-Time High, CloudCraze EMEA Lead, Ian
Pollard, Will Ensure Existing and Prospective Customers' Needs Are Served
Locally
CHICAGO, Feb. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CloudCraze, the enterprise eCommerce
platform built natively on the Salesforce Platform, has hired Ian Pollard as
general manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) to lead the company's
international expansion. Previously at Veeva Systems and Box, Pollard will be
responsible for building CloudCraze's team in Western Europe and executing EMEA
growth plans to support current and future global clients.
Pollard comes to CloudCraze after 15 years helping U.S.-based enterprise
software companies expand in the EMEA market. Most recently, Pollard served as
vice president at Box. Prior to that, Pollard built Veeva Systems' team and
client base in EMEA-the company, part of the Salesforce ecosystem, now has a
market cap of $3.17 billion. He also supported several companies through IPO,
including Unica, which was acquired by IBM in 2009 for approximately $500
million.
"Ian has an outstanding track record of leading EMEA expansion efforts for
enterprise software companies, especially in the Salesforce ecosystem, and we
are thrilled to have him open our EMEA headquarters in London," said Ray Grady,
executive vice president of CloudCraze. "EMEA demand for CloudCraze is higher
than ever, and Ian is the perfect person to help us deliver SaaS eCommerce
solutions to global enterprises."
As general manager of EMEA, Pollard will be based in CloudCraze's London office,
leading international development and support for rapidly growing client demand
for CloudCraze's B2B eCommerce system offerings. He will lead services, customer
success, marketing, sales and other local resources, while serving as the
liaison with CloudCraze's U.S. headquarters to ensure a common experience across
all functions for global customers.
CloudCraze's international expansion will ensure that the demand from existing
and prospective EMEA customers is served locally. With a tremendous growth rate
expectation in 2016, now is a critical time for CloudCraze to expand its
footprint into EMEA. Better serving existing customers and acquiring a wider
international customer base will be key drivers to achieving this goal.
"With the growth of disruptive and agile solutions in the traditional eCommerce
industry," furthered Grady, "CloudCraze will be a key enabler for international
organizations aiming to grow revenue streams through their B2B and B2C commerce
channels."
