Enterprise video leader hires Michele Thomas and Pete
Blackhurst to accelerate revenue growth through direct sales and
channel partners
Qumu (NASDAQ: QUMU), a leader in enterprise video, announced it
has appointed two new Vice Presidents, Michele Thomas and Pete
Blackhurst, to lead its Sales and Channel teams in the Americas and
EMEA respectively. The move is part of Qumu’s long-term strategy to
give greater focus on each region, and accelerate new customer
acquisition on a global scale.
“Our greatest opportunity for growth in the next 18 months is
building upon our success with market-leading partners like
AT&T, British Telecom and Whitlock,” said Vern Hanzlik,
President and CEO of Qumu. “Both Michele and Pete bring significant
experience and connections within Enterprise Video and Video
Conferencing to Qumu—as well as a relationship-driven approach to
identifying, signing, training and monetizing partner
networks.”
Thomas’ experience has included leadership roles in both direct
sales and channel sales of enterprise software solutions to global
corporations, holding executive positions at West Digital Media
Services and Ignite Technologies. Most recently, Thomas was the
North American Sales and Partner Engagement leader at Ramp, a
provider of eCDN software for the enterprise.
Blackhurst, who joined Qumu as VP Sales, EMEA earlier in the
year, has already been instrumental in multiple key enterprise
deals in Germany and the Middle East. Before Qumu, he led
successful enterprise technology sales teams at Vodafone, Sterling
Software and Smart Communications, and has extensive experience
selling into Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
“The hiring of Michele and Pete completes the final step in
realigning our global sales team around two outstanding leaders,
and monetizing our recently finalized partnership with British
Telecom,” continued Hanzlik. “Together, I’m confident Michele and
Pete will help Qumu meet or exceed our revenue goals for 2019.”
