John O'Leary joins Clickatell as VP of Sales, North America

News in from SMS Text News sponsor, Clickatell. They’ve just hired a hotshot in the form of John O’Leary who assumes the position of VP of Sales, North America.

John’s job will be to continue to…

…drive Clickatell’s successful launch into the enterprise market, particularly into the financial services, emergency first response, logistics and government sectors.

O’Leary brings more than 25 years of experience in sales, marketing and partner development to the Clickatell executive management team. He will head up a strong sales team in Clickatell’s offices in North America, which are successfully bringing enterprise-ready messaging solutions to their respective markets.

Do you think I could get him to do a 15 question Q&A? I’m gonna try and see. At the very least, I reckon I could find out what his first mobile handset was. I’m guessing he’s a half-techie, particularly since his most recent position was heading up worldwide sales for enterprise content security company, Tablus. He was the guy supervising the sale of multi-million dollar solutions to some huge companies. Just the chap you want spearheading your growth. John’s pedigree? DEC, Progress Software an a load of Silicon Valley startups.

Nice!
