Jussi’s proven sales leadership, deep industry knowledge and global perspective place him in a strong position to head-up Corel’s Global Sales operation. His appointment is a huge asset to Corel and our partners”, said Tom Berquist, CEO of Corel.
On his new role as Vice President of Global Sales, Jussi Arovaara added: “I am excited about the opportunity to lead the global sales team. Corel’s profile has grown considerably in recent years, including the acquisition of two major, global brands; Pinnacle and Roxio. As such, Corel’s broad portfolio now includes both hardware and software products, used by millions of loyal customers worldwide. While adopting a multi-brand strategy, we are simultaneously extending our established product lines. Corel’s channel partners are an integral part of how we sell our products and I look forward to further drive mutual revenue growth with them.”
