1:22 pm   -   February 28th, 2008

Sigma Systems, the premier provider and leader in the design, development and deployment of OSS service management solutions, announced the appointment of Nick Hewitt as Senior Vice President (SVP) of Sales in the EMEA region. Before joining Sigma, Nick was with IBM (formerly Vallent Software Systems).

“Nick is an important addition to Sigma’s senior sales leadership team,” said Alex Salamon, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Sigma Systems. “His proven success in leading sales teams and initiatives will be of significant value as we continue to multiply our revenues by providing tailored solutions that enable the triple, quad, and all-play services of EMEA’s communications operators. By partnering with Sigma, these leading service providers are able to bring new, value-added services quickly on-board to monetize their networks.”

In his role as head of Sigma’s EMEA sales organization, Nick is responsible for driving business success and building on the company’s current market leadership position. This will include growing and winning incremental customers in Tier-1 and Tier-2 service providers in Europe, and subsequently expanding Sigma’s business into the Middle East and Africa through both direct and channel sales initiatives. Sigma’s leadership is currently evidenced by more than 50 deployments for communications service providers worldwide (including more than 20 for VoIP and triple/quad play) with a combined total of over 30 million subscribers managed across voice, video, data, ISP, wireless, and emerging markets.

Prior to joining Sigma, Nick Hewitt was SVP of Sales, EMEA for Vallent Software Systems/IBM, responsible for sales of performance management and service quality management software to Tier-1, 2 and 3 mobile operators in the EMEA region. Before joining Vallent, Nick was Vice President of Sales for EMEA and AsiaPac at Granite Systems/Telcordia. Among his many successes, Nick was instrumental in securing numerous multi-million-dollar accounts with Tier-1 and Tier-2 operators, and in expanding sales teams across Europe and the Middle East. He also excels in designing and implementing channel management strategies, and in forging new partnerships with key industry players.
