Mobility company Kony has announced the appointment of Jonathan Best as vice president of Europe and Africa.
The move comes as part of the company’s growth strategy, with Best planning to focus on building Kony’s operations, channels, and sales presence across Europe and Africa.
Best was recently the head of innovation sales, and board director at SAP UKI, which included the mobility portfolio an area in which many companies are using as a catalyst for innovation for their businesses, especially with the explosive growth of mobile devices globally.
Blake Sallé, president, field operations, Kony, said: Best’s track record of building sales teams, his international pedigree and technology industry experience are second to none and we are thrilled to have him on board. Attracting someone of his calibre is a great endorsement of our strategy and ambition."
"Best’s knowledge and insight will be vital as we continue our ambitious plans to grow and market our innovative mobile solutions to our clients in the European region. Best has a keen understanding of the market and how we can better serve the unique enterprise mobility needs of our customers."
Jonathan Best, vice president of Europe and Africa, Kony, said: "Kony has the enviable and well-deserved reputation as the leading enterprise mobility player. Organisations understand the importance of mobility, but many are not equipped to take full advantage and to embrace its potential."
"We have a tremendous opportunity to grow further and continue to diversify into new sectors, bringing our strong business values and service delivery to match the needs and demands of our clients across Europe. Kony is in an excellent position to capitalise on the growth opportunities presented by the technology, and I am excited to be on board and part of the great team that will take the business to the next level."
