Milestone appoints VP of Corporate Products
Copenhagen, Denmark
Eilertsen has more than a dozen years of experience as a manager of product development, sales, marketing and business operations, demonstrating that he is a solid strategist who can develop new concepts and create growth while being an empathetic leader. Most recently he was the manager of Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM business division in Western Europe where he was responsible for the partner channel, sales, marketing and product management.
John Blem, Chief Product Officer and Founder of Milestone Systems, is pleased that Eilertsen has joined the company as part of its continued expansions: “With Bjorn’s passion for software, strong background in the IT industry and innate skills for growing business, he is the perfect person to help implement our new strategy. This involves more input from our partners in the development process so we can be better than ever at tailoring our products, marketing and sales to their differing needs and those of the customers.”
The new growth strategy for Milestone Systems also includes the establishment of parallel organisational divisions: the Professional Products unit run by VP Janne Jakobsen has its focus on high-volume, small to medium-size business sector needs, while the Incubation and Ventures group lead by VP Lars Nordenlund is investigating and developing future products and services for open platform IP video management software, with a new office location in Silicon Valley, California.
