Patrick Malaperiman’s Summary

Over the last 4 years I had the pleasure of being the first employee in EMEA of a software company that was sold for $210m and prior to this I was among the first 15 employees in EMEA in a company that is recognised as the fastest growing software company in IT history.

Having been involved in two such success stories, I now believe that I have defined a blue-print for success for software companies looking to establish themselves in EMEA so am delighted to be at Univa UD.
