About us

 

Our capacity to serve our customers lies in our partners— in their familiarity with their local markets, their experience and their contacts, and most of all their dedication to success.

All are senior executives whose successful careers in technology companies have given them personal experience of the challenges entrepreneurs face. These include the frustrations of opening up new territories, of hiring (and firing) overseas, of establishing new channels to market, of repositioning products - while continuing to focus on meeting revenue targets.

Our partners are based in the UK, France and Germany — we also have affiliates in Scandinavia, Benelux, USA and Asia/Pacific.
