QlikTech, the world’s fastest growing BI software vendor, has appointed Bob Langer as President of QlikTech Americas. Langer, with more than 25 years in the technology industry, brings a career-long focus on sales and customer management to QlikTech.
Langer joins QlikTech from RainMaker, Inc, a closed-loop marketing and sales services provider to some of the world’s largest technology companies, where he was Vice President and General Manager. Prior to that, Langer was a Partner at Peppers and Rogers Group, the global authority on customer relationship management. Langer also held leadership positions at Sun MicroSystems and Dell.
“I have been following QlikTech’s extraordinary market momentum, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the next great software company,” said Langer. “QlikTech is a perfect case study in balancing fast growth with a commitment to strong relationships with its current customers. I’m excited to be working with an outstanding team and enthusiastic user community.”
QlikTech is outpacing the growth of every other BI software vendor, in a space that has been rife with consolidation and confusion among the traditional players. Its 2007 worldwide revenues were $80.0 million, an 80% increase over the previous year and the third year in a row with 75% or greater growth.
