With the appointment of Philipp Lahmé, a long-standing sales expert is joining GBTEC's management team. Looking back on more than 18 years of experience in strategic software sales and proven success in highly competitive markets, he will support GBTEC in achieving its ambitious business goals. Lahmé will focus on the further development of the go-to-market approach and the strategic expansion of existing and new customer business. He also aims to expand the international partner eco-system and establish a scalable sales structure with a standardized tool chain to support international growth.
“I am convinced that the investments in marketing and sales will continue to drive our growth. GBTEC's AI-powered Business Transformation Platform for BPM, EAM, Execution, GRC and Analytics has immense potential and appeal.
