MotionPoint hires Silicon Valley SVP of Sales & Marketing
As MotionPoint's list of signed clients continues to grow rapidly -- and the positive impact of Website Language Management (WLM) continues to open new markets for current clients – MotionPoint’s position as the proven WLM leader has enabled it to attract top-tier talent from outside of the translation industry and South Florida region.
The Ft. Lauderdale-area company recently lured Silicon Valley-based technology executive Paul McGhee to South Florida as its Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, where he is building the sales and marketing machine to continue MotionPoint's expansion.
"The Internet brings global markets close, and with most of the world preferring or needing the web in their native language, multi-lingual websites are key to capturing these markets," McGhee said. "MotionPoint helps its clients capture these markets quickly and efficiently, typically ten times faster and with ten times fewer client resources than the legacy translation approaches."
After an MBA at Wharton, McGhee has spent the past 16 years building out the CRM space: He built the first regional lead machines for J.D. Edwards, was a top IMA sales rep in the pre-Siebel CRM days, was a charter member of Oracle’s first CRM sales team and built and ran sales for micromarketing trailblazer Nimblefish.
McGhee's last position was Vice President of Sales at Nimblefish, a micromarketing solution company. There, he built and managed a sales team which, in four years, grew the company elevenfold. McGhee's leadership added Apple, HP, CDW, Best Buy, AT&T and other marquee names to the company's client roster.
"MotionPoint's business has more than doubled for three consecutive years," MotionPoint CEO Will Fleming. "In order to accelerate our growth, we needed to increase the management team's breadth and depth. Paul's background with technology-enabled services for marketing and ecommerce -- and his experience in growing tech companies -- make him a great addition to our team."
