Claire Buchanan, Jason Currill and Gracie Golonka at Bridgeworks

Bridgeworks Ltd‘s CEO David Trossell announced an expanded global presence with three executive hires, Claire Buchanan, Jason Currill and Gracie Golonka and their first US office in Boulder, CO.

 Buchanan joins as SVP global operations, responsible for worldwide operations, transformational go-to-market strategies and business development. She joins with restructuring and brand awareness success from Bolero, a cloud platform which provides SaaS solutions to optimise and simplify complex international trade chains. Prior to that, she held senior executive positions over a 20 year period at Crystal Decisions (SAP), Compuware and FileNet.

 Currill joins Bridgeworks as VP global sales, responsible for revenue strategies and execution across all channels. Prior to joining Bridgeworks he founded Ospero, a cloud service provider where he served as CEO prior to selling to a private equity group. With experience in building and managing sales teams in EMEA for Business Objects (SAP) and leading North American sales for Dyadem (IHS), he brings over 15 years’ experience.

 Golonka joins Bridgeworks as VP North America, responsible for sales and business development activity in the region including management of the IBM partnership. Most recently she drove business development success with ITKO (CA), providing a disruptive solution to optimize enterprise application development lifecycles. Previously, she held leadership roles at Business Objects, Entrust and IBM. For over 25 years Gracie has created sustainable, profitable business growth.

Boulder, Colorado is the home-base for Bridgeworks’ penetration into North American markets.

“Between early adopters clamouring for SANSlide, our Data Acceleration solution, and the significant attention with IBM signing as a Strategic Partner, Bridgeworks is experiencing tremendous demand and growth,” said Trossell. “The next generation of WAN optimisation is here and Bridgeworks is leading the way.”
