has added a new addition to its European team by recruiting sales expert
Ståle Akersveen to manage its sales force in the Nordic Region.

geographic location for future growth."

previous experiences, particularly with companies like Citrix, will enable me
to make a difference quickly."

has an important role to play in driving virtualisation solutions to the
forefront of future customers' minds in the Nordic Region. Knowing that
AppSense is continuing to develop their already strong staff foundation is
