LogMeIn, Inc. (Nasdaq:LOGM) has named Mark Strassman as senior
vice president (SVP) and general manager (GM) of its Communications
& Collaboration business unit.
A proven industry veteran, Strassman joins LogMeIn from
BlueJeans Networks, where he served as the video collaboration
leader’s Chief Product Officer (CPO) since 2016, overseeing the
company’s product, design, and integrated portfolio strategy to
build video-first solutions. Prior to BlueJeans, Mark served as
Senior Vice President of Products at Blackboard, Inc., a leading
provider of video and collaboration technologies to the education
industry, where he drove the company’s transformation from
enterprise to SaaS business models, and from an inside-out to a
customer-driven, industry-focused strategy. Strassman also held
various executive management positions at Autodesk, Inc., where he
was responsible for managing Autodesk’s core products, AutoCAD and
AutoCAD LT, invigorating the product line with groundbreaking
design and functionality that resulted in a doubling of the
business.
He joins LogMeIn as the company drives the expansion of its
renowned GoTo collaboration business into the $25.5 billion (USD)
cloud-based unified communications and collaboration (UCC)
market.
“Mark has a deep familiarity with the collaboration market, and
a well-earned reputation for helping established leaders disrupt
their own markets through customer-focused innovation,” said Bill
Wagner, President and CEO of LogMeIn. “With unparalleled market
awareness, millions of customers, billions of voice minutes, and
some of the world’s best cloud collaboration and communication
products, we’ve always believed we had the right ingredients to win
in UCC. Mark gives us the driven and proven leader to define and
execute a customer-first vision to realize that
potential.”
With renowned products like GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar,
Grasshopper, join.me, and more -- products that support over 25
million users, with over 900 million conferencing minutes a month
contributing to over 7 million meetings per month, and 12 billion
voice minutes per year -- LogMeIn is one of the largest and most
recognized players in the communication and collaboration markets.
In April of this year, LogMeIn acquired Jive Communications, a
leading provider of cloud-based phone systems and one of the
fastest growing players in the Unified Communications-as-a-Service
(UCaaS) space, in a deal designed to accelerate LogMeIn’s UCC
strategy and bring together the best in video, voice, meetings and
messaging.
“The convergence of video, voice and messaging are fundamentally
transforming both the Collaboration market and the Unified
Communications market – a shift already impacting customers,
vendors and the channel,” said Mark Strassman, SVP and GM of
LogMeIn’s Communications & Collaboration business. “LogMeIn is
an established leader in collaboration with world renowned brands,
a best-in-class portfolio of audio, video, telephony, web
conferencing, and webinar solutions, and a user base in the
