Last week, we have announced the appointment of Kathleen Claes to the position of Director of Partnerships & Alliances and Katy Wilson to Partner Manager. Today, we take the opportunity and invite Kathleen to an exclusive interview on her new position, her thoughts on open commerce and what this means for merchants.
Kathleen, welcome to the community! How would you describe your new role at Shopware?
My goal is to put Shopware in pole position on the international Commerce Market. My mission is to service and support the team and our Partners, removing any barriers that might hinder success.
When did you join the software benin telegram screening industry?
I started my career in Sales when I left school, back in what I call the stone age. I have been an IT professional for over 20 years and started my first Channel experience in 2001, building and developing the Channel for Citrix in the BeNeLux. After having spent all my professional time on the infrastructure side of the technology business, I wanted to shift to the software and application side and go for a more international challenge. That journey started in 2011 with Magento, now Adobe Commerce. Having covered a Channel Development, Channel Leader and Channel Sales Leader role, I accepted the role as Sales Director Western Europe in 2017 during which I extended the Commerce Team in France, the Nordics and DACH, opened the Polish, Italian, Dutch, Belgian, Spanish and Portuguese Market.
