UK Email Management Company Mimecast Reinforces Management Team
With three former SurfControl managers
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 7, 2008 at 4:39 pmMimecast Services Ltd., a provider of web-based email management services, has announced the appointments of three former SurfControl senior managers, to head up their sales and marketing team.
Martino Corbelli has been appointed as Mimecast’s new Marketing Director with the specific mandate of increasing market penetration and awareness while supporting channel partners with market development programmes. Martino, a technology marketing professional with over 13 years industry experience, said; ‘‘It’s an exciting time for Mimecast as the channel is looking for better ways to support its customers through advanced technologies that help cut IT management overheads in a climate of economic uncertainty. My aim is to help establish the company as the number one Software-plus-Services partner for Microsoft Exchange and Outlook. Already, and in a short space of time, Mimecast has led the field for enterprise email security, archiving and continuity delivered through an advanced Software-as-a-Service platform.’’ Martino will look to bring Mimecast the success that saw SurfControl’s revenues increase from zero to $100m within five years.
Julian Martin, Mimecast’s new UK & Europe Business Development Director, is recognised as a technically astute market expert with a keen interest in emerging technologies and innovations – one of the key drivers for joining Mimecast. One of his best known achievements was establishing the UK channel at the start of his six year term at SurfControl, before then successfully taking responsibility for EMEA/Global Alliance Partners and OEM business. In that role he helped establish and develop a strong relationship between SurfControl and Microsoft which drove significant revenues for both partners. His reputation as an executive that drives markets is well known due to an extensive knowledge of all aspects of sales, operations, marketing and a proven ability to develop both product and go to market strategies. Julian recently passed over an opportunity to run his own technology start-up in order to join the Mimecast team.
Alan Kenny, an established sales professional with extensive experience in heading up direct and channel sales teams, has been appointed as Mimecast’s UK & European Sales Director. Few of his contemporaries have made such an impact in such a short space of time, winning the mutual respect of his peers and the channel community alike in 10 years of industry service. With previous placements at both Vistorm and SurfControl, Alan was an instrumental figure in the transition of the SurfControl business model from a predominantly direct sales organisation to a completely channel-focused model.
