GENEVA, SWITZERLAND and WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 16, 2015) - Jahia, the leading open source User Experience Platform (UXP) vendor, announced today that Piyush Patel, seasoned professional of the CMS/Digital Platforms industry joins Jahia CEO Elie Auvray and COO Emmanuel Garcin in the Executive Leadership team of the company as Executive Vice President of Strategic Alliances & General Manager North America.
While expanding Jahia's business, Mr. Patel will have the mission to develop strong and long-lasting strategic partnerships with key international digital agencies and major system integrators. Piyush will also oversee the global technology partnerships with strategic software providers to accelerate the development of the ecosystem of connectors and generic integration which are at the core of the UXP benefits for Jahia's customer..
He holds an exceptional track record in these areas, delivered at Epicentric, Vignette, and SapientNitro, where he led key areas of the business in product, services, and alliances at various stages of growth.
"As I've been working to help clients accelerate their digital capabilities, a number of things had emerged which require more and more complex capabilities to be put in place. This complexity has driven digital projects to be very costly and risky for enterprise clients to deploy. The vision and approach I utilize in addressing this challenge and working in partnership between clients, amongst multiple vendors and the delivery teams that are charged with this responsibility is something I share strongly and commonly with the Jahia team. It's a natural fit for me to be working more closely with Jahia after 6 years of experience on their platform from my first client which went live in 2009 and is still extremely pleased with the platform. I can't imagine a better way to deliver on the vision than working with Jahia to help them expand and form new strategic partnerships that will drive tremendous change and value " says Piyush Patel
"Piyush shares our vision and will be key to bringing onboard technologies that Jahia needs to integrate more tightly to fully deliver our UXP vision. We're glad to welcome Piyush and are truly looking forward to his contribution to Jahia's management, business development and solutions." says Elie Auvray CEO, Jahia Solutions Group.
"Piyush's experience will undoubtedly accelerate our development and visibility not only in North America, but globally. His business acumen, global network and deep knowledge of our industry is what Jahia needs to truly deliver its value" adds Emmanuel Garcin, COO at Jahia.
