CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 08/10/11 — When the opportunity opened up to lead Kerio-s European Sales team, Chris Peluso had already been with Kerio Technologies, a global company with eight worldwide offices, for six successful years. Though he had traveled the globe extensively on behalf of Kerio, he viewed this as a unique personal and professional opportunity and moved from his very successful stint as Kerio-s North American sales director position.
Now based in Cambridge, UK, Peluso is responsible for managing Kerio-s EMEA sales team while driving Kerio-s presence in key European markets such as Germany, France, Italy, Russia, UK, and the Czech Republic. He travels extensively throughout Europe to meet with partners, distributors, and Kerio-s sales team to further expand Kerio-s local presence.
“We have received a tremendous response from the channel when Kerio can be seen and heard locally,” said Peluso. “It is very exciting to see how Kerio has grown over the years I-ve been with the company; we-ve become a four product company and will continue to enhance and expand our offerings to solve the technical challenges of small businesses in an easy and cost-efficient manner.”
Prior to moving to Europe, Peluso was the North American sales director at Kerio and based at the company-s headquarters in San Jose, Calif. In his role he designed, deployed and managed a field-based sales team across the United States and developed channel strategies to help deliver Kerio-s messaging and security solutions to SMB markets. During his tenure, active resellers more than doubled and reseller sales grew by 140%.
With 15 years in the messaging and collaboration market, Peluso brings a wide range of experience including cloud, mobile, web, and cross-platform communication. He began his career with Kerio in 2004 as a regional channel manager and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from San Jose State University.
