Spring Wireless, a mobile software and services company, has established its US headquarters in Seattle, Washington. The company was originally founded in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2001. It has operations across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
In addition to its new board members, Spring Wireless has also named a US management team including Shakil Haroon, who will serve as Spring Wireless USA general manager. Prior to joining Spring Wireless, Mr Haroon spent 10 years at software startups and more than 10 years in sales and management at Intel and Microsoft.
Additionally, Liron Shaked will serve as vice president of business development and corporate marketing and Kelly Malone will serve as vice president of sales for Spring Wireless USA.
Marcelo Conde, CEO of Spring Wireless, said: We see great potential in the US market, which has traditionally lagged behind Europe and Latin America in mobility. Spring Wireless has been at the forefront of the mobile explosion in markets outside of the US and we’re excited to support our global customers operations in the US. Our move into North America will help us better serve our U.S. customers and help us extend into new markets as we continue to expand our business globally.”
