Milestone Systems Hires VP for Corporate Products
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 22, 2013, 2013 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Former Microsoft Manager Bjorn Skou Eilertsen leads a newly created
business unit for high complexity surveillance software
Milestone Systems, the open
platform company in IP video management software (VMS), has hired Bjørn
Skou Eilertsen as Vice President for the company's recently established
Corporate Products business unit, responsible for large and high
complexity surveillance solutions.
"Milestone Systems has achieved formidable growth in its first 14 years
to be a leader in a market where the customers' needs are constantly
changing. I look forward to doing my part to keep us ahead of the
competition," says Eilertsen, VP of the Milestone Systems Corporate
Products business unit. "My primary task is to manage continued
developments for our high-end products designed for more complex needs
and larger customers, to ensure that our software best fulfills their
requirements. Organizationally I will focus on leveraging coordination
between R & D, marketing and sales to work toward our shared goals."
Eilertsen has more than 14 years of experience as a manager of product
development, sales, marketing and business operations. He has
demonstrated that he is a solid strategist who can develop new concepts
and create growth while being an empathetic leader, most recently with
four years' success as 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 organizational divisions: the Professional
Products unit run by VP Janne Jakobsen has its focus on high-volume,
small to medium-size business (SMB) 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.
