JERSEY CITY, N.J., Feb. 9,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AvePoint, a leading Microsoft 365
data management independent software vendor, appoints Jason Beal as senior vice president of global
channel and partner ecosystems. In this role, Beal will be
chartered with expanding the company's relationships with managed
service providers, solution providers, and systems integrators as
well as accelerating its global distribution networks and cloud
marketplace presence.
Beal joins AvePoint from senior channel leadership roles at Palo
Alto Networks both in Europe and
in the United States, where he
successfully led its global distribution and commercial channel
business. In those capacities, Beal was an integral part of
creating a world-class distribution ecosystem and partner channel
capable of supporting the company's hyper-growth from a few hundred
million dollars in annual revenue to several billion dollars. He
brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the technology
sector with an emphasis on enterprise content management, security,
and cloud technologies.
Beal adds, "With AvePoint, you're really at the heart of today's
cloud and digital transformation mega trends and helping
organizations collaborate with confidence. There's been a lot of
great work with MSPs and VARs across the globe and now we are ready
to take channel to the next level. It's a key growth opportunity
for the community and there is definite leadership commitment."
The appointment is one investment in a series of moves that
positions AvePoint strategically to accelerate channel growth. In
January, the company hired Tony
Lanni as senior vice president of channel marketing. Lanni
played a pivotal role in AvePoint's early days as vice president of
marketing and later brand evangelist. He returns to AvePoint after
leading global demand generation and increasing revenue in the
midmarket and channel sectors at BlackLine.
The influx in Microsoft Teams' daily active users (DAU) to reach
115 million demonstrates AvePoint and its partners are benefiting
from unprecedented growth in collaboration security and data
governance, driven by digital transformation and a global shift to
remote working environments. As such, AvePoint resources and
investments are focused on helping partners sell more services and
to expand their overall "services economy" around AvePoint
technologies.
In addition, AvePoint announced its intent to merge with Apex
Technology Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: APXT), a publicly
traded special purpose acquisition company ("Apex") late last year.
The move to go public is anticipated to fuel future channel
investment.
"We're thrilled to welcome Jason and Tony to the AvePoint team.
Accelerating our channel ecosystem will play an integral role in
the company's next phase of growth and with their leadership, we
will continue investing in a world-class channel program," says
AvePoint CEO Tianyi Jiang.
