In this role, he was responsible for multi-million-dollar sales and renewals revenue globally, managing a team of new business and account management functions across nine separate products in the telco industry.
“Jonathan has deep experience in growing and scaling enterprise software and telco companies,” said Andy Berry, CEO of VertiGIS. “We are excited to welcome him to the VertiGIS team to maximise sales opportunities and lead our business development strategy in the region. We have exciting plans for our next phase of growth in partnership with Esri and I look forward to having Jonathan’s knowledge and expertise guide us.”
VertiGIS and Esri have been partners for many years, with VertiGIS currently holding certifications of Esri partner specialities in State and Local Government, Network Management, Cloud Services, and nine listings on ArcGIS Marketplace, supporting customers with ArcGIS-based solutions in over 50 countries.
Jonathan’s appointment follows the launch of VertiGIS’ new cloud infrastructure, uniting all VertiGIS solutions into global cloud platforms, using Microsoft Azure’s public cloud. This enables VertiGIS customers to reduce their hosting costs while optimising their technology in a more secure, scalable, and modern environment.
“I’m looking forward to building VertiGIS’ presence in the UK and Nordics. Our technology helps utilities, telcos and infrastructure/facilities management organisations better leverage and have visibility of their assets quickly and seamlessly. Many of these organisations have decades-old ageing infrastructure and are looking to modernise and migrate to the cloud and with our new cloud infrastructure we can help them achieve this,” said Jonathan Daniel, VP of Sales for Northern Europe and UK Managing Director at VertiGIS.
