• Create a go-to-market model to bring profitability to LumApps’ partners
• Ensure that the partner ecosystem has a high level of autonomy to replicate prior success
• Drive partners to higher revenue levels by transforming the way they approach the market

“It is exciting to assume the mantle of VP channel for LumApps at a time when the company is experiencing rapid and significant growth in its main markets,” said Noam. “As demand grows for new and innovative approaches to help organizations achieve greater benefits from their digital transformation initiatives, partners and alliances are key to accelerate LumApps’ growth.”

“We are honored to have Chris, Melinda and Noam share their expertise with our leadership team as we enter a new phase of our company growth,” said Sebastien Ricard, CEO of LumApps. “Chris and Melinda will be most impactful with lead and demand generation while Noam will deepen our partners and alliances strategy – three vital roles that will sustain and grow the company as we forge ahead.”
