Former CMS Software, Inc. Vice President Will Support VAI’s Strategic Growth Plans
RONKONKOMA, N.Y.--VAI (Vormittag Associates, Inc.) (www.vai.net), an IBM Premier Business Partner and a leader in enterprise solutions for the distribution, manufacturing, retail and service industries, today announced the hiring of Brian Angle, CPIM, as the firm’s Senior Sales Executive. Angle will support VAI’s strategic growth efforts, emphasizing expansion of VAI’s customer base in the manufacturing and distribution verticals as well as increasing resellers in VAI’s dealer network.
Angle brings over 15 years of direct selling and sales management experience to the position. This expertise, coupled with in-depth knowledge of enterprise management software, APICS certification in production and inventory management and comprehensive knowledge of the IBM channel organization, identified Angle as the ideal individual to generate business opportunities among small- to mid-size businesses (SMBs) that appreciate the advanced functionality of the System i platform. Prior to VAI, as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Angle spearheaded Canada-based CMS Software, Inc.’s successful entrée into U.S. markets.
“I’m excited by the opportunity to establish VAI’s business applications as the industry standard in the SMB space,” said Angle. “VAI’s exclusive relationship with IBM and the firm’s reputation as a provider of superior enterprise solutions make this a realistic objective for the short term. In particular, I see tremendous opportunities in the food and food distribution industries, where growing demand for traceability of food product components positions VAI’s affordable software as the business solution of choice.”
Dan Bivona, Sales Director, VAI, commented, “Brian’s background in manufacturing, his extensive industry contacts and his ability to anticipate market trends make him a true ‘triple threat.’ I am thrilled to have a professional of this caliber on the VAI sales team. I have no doubt that he will achieve his stated goal of doubling VAI’s customer base in short order.”
