Jan Vekemans’s Summary

After a thorough preparation phase and in response to market demand we have launched a new concept of flexible, one source Managed Secure Authentication Service. This is marketed via a direct channel and via telecom operators worldwide as a one-stop shop service allowing companies to have full adapted control over all things authentication.
My extensive experience in authentication has allowed me to start this in cooperation with some other seasoned industry veterans.

Delivering the Genband message throughout EMEA and enabling the company to expand in my region. Genband has a very strong offering in the US. They have started a coordinated expansion outside US and I have been the front runner for EMEA. Testing the market and expanding the customer base as well as the relationships with the successful US(international) partners.

I expanded Netilla to become a household name in IT security.

Building our channel accross EMEA.

I build channels and motivated teams at Vasco Data Security, Baltimore Technologies and Xerox Engineering Systems as well as gotten actively involved in Direct touch and Sales.
