Boasting hundreds of brand-name clients and delivering over 1 billion web pages each month, the company has a long history of innovation to drive client success in new markets. Witt will oversee the global sales force to further fuel the company\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cCraig has more than 26 years of experience in accelerating sales growth in the global enterprise, software and mobile markets,\u201d said Will Fleming, MotionPoint\u2019s CEO. \u201cWith a long history of building, leading and scaling successful sales teams, he understands the challenges that both large, global brands and smaller, regional organizations face. He also understands how businesses like ours must scale to meet those demands. His extensive market knowledge will prove hugely valuable to both MotionPoint and the customers we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Prior to joining MotionPoint, Witt served as executive vice president of global sales at Version One, an enterprise software company. He has also held numerous sales leadership roles at prior companies, including serving as vice president of worldwide sales at KidoZen, chief sales officer and senior vice president of global marketing at Spring Mobile Solutions, and vice president of sales at Tibco Software. <\/p>\n<p>  \u201cMotionPoint is well-positioned to grow rapidly in this industry,\u201d said Witt. \u201cOur technology allows organizations to launch websites targeting any market, in multiple languages, in less than 90 days, with little to no IT involvement. We then take it a step further by offering customized services and tools that ensure our clients\u2019 success in each market. <\/p>\n<p>  \u201cNow is a dynamic time for marketers, when communications and commerce seemingly have no borders. But, often they\u2019re unclear about how to tap into global opportunities and deliver those projects with limited budgets and resources. I\u2019m excited to join a team that\u2019s solving those challenges for our customers and offering innovative technology that delivers global success to world-class brands.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>  Witt resides in Delray Beach, Fla., and will be based at MotionPoint\u2019s headquarters in Coconut Creek.<\/p>\n","article_body_code":"","news_image":{"ID":13354,"id":13354,"title":"Hero_New_EVP-100.jpg","filename":"Hero_New_EVP-100.jpg","filesize":45963,"url":"https:\/\/www.motionpoint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hero_New_EVP-100.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.motionpoint.com\/blog\/motionpoint-names-new-executive-vice-president-of-worldwide-sales\/hero_new_evp-100\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"
