Vancouver, BC, February 17, 2015--(T-Net)--Thoughtexchange, creators of the Group Insight Platform™, announced today the addition of Joe Baker and Kevin Skelcher to the Company's executive management team.
Joe Baker, Vice President, Business Development
As Vice President of Business Development, Joe brings to the Company more than 20 years experience in start-up and growth companies, where he's served in a number of roles, including angel investor, board member, CEO and multiple executive roles in both business and corporate development.
"Joe's expertise in company building and market development will be a tremendous asset as the company continues to expand into new geographies and industries,” said Jim Firstbrook, CEO.
Dave MacLeod, President, adds, "we are very happy to bring Joe on board at this juncture. He brings a perfect blend of expertise and cultural fit and we look forward to his contribution as we continue on our path to success.”
Joe moved to Whistler more than a decade ago after helping to build great companies from the ground-up in Minneapolis, Boston, San Jose and San Diego, and he's continued to help build great companies following the move, despite the distractions.
Kevin Skelcher, Vice President, Sales
Kevin will lead all aspects of Thoughtexchange's sales efforts including hiring, training and sales execution. Kevin has an extensive background with the organization and has been a critical part of sales success since 2011.
“Kevin has shown exceptional leadership and tenacity as we've grown our business from an idea into a rapidly growing software and services company that is tripling sales every year,” said Firstbrook. “As we continue to scale across North America to meet demand I am pleased that Kevin's approach to building meaningful and lasting relationships with our clients will be the blueprint of our sales organization."
“We are excited that Kevin brings his experience working directly with education and health leaders across North America to his role as VP,” said MacLeod. “His success in the past will be an enormous asset as he transfers his skills to his rapidly growing team.”
