Citrix has announced that its former Director and Vice President of the EMEA region Carlos Sartorius has been appointed as the company’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Services.
Sartorius will report to company President and CEO, Mark Templeton.
Al Monserrat, a fifteen year Citrix veteran, will be leaving the company, having run sales and services since 2008.
“I want to recognise the huge contribution and impact Al has had since joining our company 15 years ago,” Templeton said. “It has been an honour and a privilege to have had him on our team, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and best wishes to him as he takes the next step in his journey.”
Sartorius is a senior global executive with cross-functional expertise in the technology and telecommunications industries.
Prior to his time at Citrix, he held a range of senior industry leadership positions, most recently with HP, where he was vice president and general manager of HP’s networking business unit in EMEA.
Prior to that he served as CEO of Orange Business Services; president for Avaya’s EMEA business; and in a number of leadership roles for Motorola, including vice president and general manager of its Government and Enterprise Mobility Solutions business in EMEA.
“Looking forward, we are extremely fortunate to have an executive of Carlos’ calibre and experience who is ready and able to step up to this expanded role,” Templeton added. “Carlos has done a remarkable job getting our EMEA business back on track and has all of the right qualities to lead the ongoing development and growth of our global field organisations. He is well versed in our go-to-market, partner and channel models and has a deep understanding of our customers’ challenges and perspectives, making him the perfect executive for this role as we continue to drive toward our vision of a software-defined workplace.”
Sartorius’ promotion is effectively immediately. He is moving to the US and will be based in the company’s Santa Clara, California facility.
