In tact with expanding business opportunities, an internal reorganisation reflects strategic focus areas and sets the stage for a more efficient management structure to enable future growth plans. This also provides the opportunity for employees to be recognised for their outstanding efforts by receiving well-earned promotions, empowering them to extend their excellent work and ideas even further.

“Our driving goal is to support our open platform community with the highest level of talent, innovation and service possible,” said Tim Palmquist, VP Americas, Milestone Systems. “The way to do this is to recruit those with best expertise available, and reward top performance by providing successful career paths both for our own employees and for channel partners who are working with us and our technology.”

Brad Thomas is now Strategic Account Manager with a national scope, and Tom Young, Channel Business Manager for NY/NJ, has joined Milestone with decades of industry experience in the video management and access control industry. Reg Collins, Western Canada Channel Business Manager, comes to Milestone from Axis Communications, where he most recently worked as a Key Account Manager supporting large end-user customers.  Andrea Meissner, Inside Channel Manager (ICM), brings to Milestone a proven history in Sales, Channel Management and Partner Development.

Christina Schlegel, Finance Manager, recently joined the Milestone Americas Controlling team to bring several years’ experience from Deloitte, where she was a manager of one of Deloitte’s largest audit clients, 

In September, Jean-Francois Montpetit was promoted to the position of Engineering Manager of the Custom Development team in the Americas, reporting to Paolo Blem, Director of Global Custom Development at Milestone headquarters in Denmark. 

In Latin America, Milestone hired Ulises Perez as Associate Support Professional for the Central America/Latin America (CALA) region, and in the Milestone Mexico office added Jose Brito as Technical Support Professional with Jessie Benton as Sales Support in the Partner Services & Sales Support team.
