Tim Palmquist is now responsible for the Milestone business generated throughout the North and South American countries. Promoted from his position as VP Sales Operations, Palmquist came to Milestone Systems in 2007 as Territory Manager for the central region of the U.S. Before that, he worked with Milestone software products for more than four years as the key IP video anchor person at a large Midwest-based integration partner. He incorporates valuable knowledge about both partner and customer needs.

"This position is an evolution of the work that I have been doing with Milestone all along. I will focus on synergies between all organsational departments to ensure that our execution toward partners and customers is second to none," explains Tim Palmquist. "I get to assume the leadership role for an already very successful Americas organization, taking on new challenges to fulfill the demands that lie ahead."

With a finance degree from Kansas State University, Palmquist dove into 15 years of IT sales and another five years of business management and development. The combined technical and sales backgrounds have been very beneficial at Milestone.

Eric Fullerton, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Milestone Systems comments: "Tim really understands our business from the ground up. He has been very instrumental in building our organisation over the years: he knows our marketplace, our go-to-market strategies, our competition and the customer-centric focus and services that are needed to succeed."

Palmquist adds: "Milestone represents a unique potential in the centre of the IP convergence storm sweeping old analogue technology out and replacing it with network architecture. It is not often that you can be part of such a paradigm transition and the rapid growth that goes with it."
