MobileIron has been acquired by Ivanti per December 2020. In the Ivanti team I am responsible as Area Sales Director - Benelux to make sure we keep providing our current- and new customers with solutions that help them achieve their business goals, and create the business outcome they need.

Responsible for managing MobileIron's Benelux regional team and all the business activities relating to customers and partners. As market leader in our region, our solution is successfully and happily used by a large number of organisations (in all vertical markets) for managing from a small number to (tens of) thousands of iOS, Android, Windows 10 and macOS devices. My goal is to make sure (potential) customers not only learn about our solution from us, but also learn from the experience of other current customers to elevate everyone’s knowledge and share best practices. We provide the IT department the control, flexibility and security they need, while greatly enhancing the user experience on the (mobile) device of the user's choice. We can help organisations by delivering trust in a “zero-trust” world!Mobile technology is driving a massive shift in the ability of IT to support the way people want to work and collaborate. In this era of unified endpoint management, modern enterprises must deliver native mobile experiences that are available to users anywhere, anytime while ensuring that IT can secure corporate information everywhere. MobileIron differentiates in the areas of security, scalability and support across multiple operating systems as recognised by Gartner, IDC & Forrester.

I work together with the other local team members to further expand MobileIron’s successful and growing business in the Netherlands. A large number of Dutch organizations in all kinds of vertical markets (Finance, Government, Industry, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Education, etc.) already use our solution for managing from a small number to (tens of) thousands of mobile devices. My goal is to make sure more customers not only learn about our solution, but also learn from the experiences we and our current customers can share with them. Our customers use the solution to provide the IT department the control, flexibility and security they need, without compromising the user experience. This while providing the user the option to use the mobile device of their choice.MobileIron is a leading vendor in the Gartner Unified Endpoint Management Magic Quadrant. This is the (new in 2018) MQ made up out of the previous MDM/EMM MQ and the Desktop management MQ. We’ve been a leader in the relevant MQ since 2010 and are highly valued for security, great support, scalability and interoperability with other key solutions. All this combined with our focus on using market standards instead of proprietary solutions to stay as close as possible to the native experience people want! We provide support for all major Operating Systems like f.e. iOS, Android, Android Enterprise, Windows 10 and macOS. The world is moving towards “Modern Work” as we call it fast with the need for secure availability of applications and data at all times as a key requirement. Devices are no longer “just used” for email and the Office suite of products, but are increasingly used for business critical applications and help user productivity. MobileIron makes it possible to provide this in a user friendly and completely secure way.Start designing your business processes around the way people work instead of trying to “upgrade the old way of work to this new era”. Of course we’re happy to help!
