Written by Paul Maher
Heading up marketing for EMEA and APJ is no simple task – especially when the company is a leading NoSQL database which powers business-critical applications for B2B companies across the globe.
Jes describes himself as a ‘sales-leaning marketing person’. His career has seen him work his way up in B2B Field Marketing roles, where he has always tried to keep close ties to the sales function of the business.
