May 04 2022 - 9:00AM
AvePoint (NASDAQ: AVPT), the most advanced SaaS and data management
platform provider, today announced the appointment of Janet Schijns
to its Board of Directors. Schijns’ experience leading channel
programs and disruptive go-to-market strategies for over two
decades will provide a unique perspective as AvePoint continues to
scale its indirect sales business.
“Last year, AvePoint made significant changes to elevate our
indirect sales business and make it a priority across all business
departments,” said Dr. Tianyi Jiang (TJ), CEO and Co-Founder,
AvePoint. “I am confident that the insights and ideas Janet will
provide will help us continue scaling our global channel, one of
our key growth vectors.”
Schijns is currently Co-Founder and CEO of JS Group, a
consulting firm that specializes in developing high-performance
sales cultures and effective channels to market for technology
companies. Previously, Schijns served as EVP and Chief Merchant and
Services Officer at Office Depot, where she led a major
transformation to drive traction in IT services. From 2012 to 2017,
Schijns was the Chief Channel Executive and Chief Marketing
Technologist at Verizon Enterprise Solutions, and Vice President of
Verizon Wireless’ Business Solutions Group from 2010 to 2012.
Additionally, she led the channel organization for Motorola
Enterprise and Government.
Adding Schijns to the AvePoint Board of Directors signifies its
commitment to diversifying viewpoints that will help grow the
business. Specifically, her appointment reflects a focus on the
AvePoint channel business, which now has over 2,800 total partners,
and contributed to the company’s triple-digit-growth in business
from the AvePoint Elements Managed Services Platform since its
launch in July 2021. Now, Schijns will serve on the AvePoint Board
and on the Board of NINJIO, a company that provides Cybersecurity
Awareness Training to organizations across the globe.
“I am excited to join the AvePoint Board at such a pivotal
moment in the company’s history,” said Schijns. “I believe that
AvePoint has already played an important role in enabling
organizations around the world to collaborate with confidence, and
through the continued expansion of its global partner program and
increased partner sales enablement, I see even more potential. I
look forward to working with AvePoint and my fellow Board members
to help grow the indirect sales business even further to capitalize
on collaboration security revenue opportunities."
In addition to her corporate experience, Schijns’ background
compliments AvePoint’s philanthropic efforts. Committed to the
advancement of women in technology, Schijns founded the
not-for-profit organization Tech World’s Half to keep more women in
the technology profession, in 2017. Earlier this year, AvePoint
solidified its partnership with Girls Who Code, the organization
building the largest pipeline of future female engineers, which has
now reached more than 500 million people globally and 450,000 girls
through programming that serves girls from elementary school all
the way into college.
