Word initially reached us that Mark Leo joined Grassfish Marketing Technologies [1] a few months ago, most probably replacing Daniel Gasser (as Business Development Manager) who left Grassfish, moved to Switzerland and (God help him) has just joined Trumedia [2].
[1]Mark was most recently International Business Development Director at Dimedis GmbH [3], a post he held for almost three years. Before that of course he was Business Development Consultant at Net Display Systems BV [4] for four years.
Mark clarified our story slightly and told us exclusively “I worked for a few months for Grassfish as a consultant to restructure the sales and marketing function from September to end of December 2011. And I was appointed as sales and marketing director at the end of December, effective 1st January 2012, reporting to CEO Roland Grassberger and CFO Alexander Korte”
Grassfish is seemingly on a bit of a growth spurt at the moment and they have been busy hiring people to grow the sales and marketing team.
Our understanding is that they have recently hired Romana Brunner as Key Account Manager for DACH and Eastern Europe, a marketing communications executive in the form of Lauretta Konradi in December and project manager Helmut Pfeiler.
They are currently seeking another 3 dynamic persons to complement their team as they grow the business in 2012.
