His appointment, in this newly created role, is an important milestone in our move towards a more market-driven organization, which will further drive CM.com’s global expansion strategy.
Mark (Dutch: 1970) has over thirty years of tech marketing experience working for growth companies such as Apple, 3Com, Twinfield and most recently Exact Software.
