Amsterdam, 5th July 2011 – To keep pace with the growing global demand for editorial workflow and planning software, Van Gennep is expanding its sales team with the addition of a new senior Sales Manager, Christian Jansen.
Christian brings 13 years of sales experience in international companies to Van Gennep. As Sales Executive at ATOS Origin, he was made responsible for gaining, supporting and maintaining new customers, after having previously worked for the distribution of ATOS’s development, integration and strategic sourcing solutions. Prior to this, Christian spent two years at Centric as Account Manager, where he was responsible for the distribution of ICT solutions and services.
At Van Gennep, Christian will develop the Sales organization to better respond to the forecasted growth of publishing into the corporate world.

His ability to find and implement solutions based on long-term experience will greatly aid Van Gennep in its strategy to become a leading player in the fast-evolving world of enterprise multi-channel publishing.”
At the end of 2010, Van Gennep announced their strategic partnership with ADAM Software, a global provider of media workflow and marketing technology software, to deliver a DAM-based, end-to-end workflow publishing platform. The seamless integration of the companies’ solutions provides users with a coherent and easily deployed approach to digital asset management, business process management and multi-channel publishing workflows.
