Blue Medora has appointed Ian Wells as EMEA sales director to support its growth in the region. Wells will work to build on an impressive 2016, which saw the application performance management provider attract 50 percent more customers than the previous year in EMEA.

Wells brings 25 years experience to the role and previously held positions including senior director in EMEA at PernixData, regional sales director for UK and Ireland at EMC and vice president of northwest EMEA and regional director at Veeam.

This appointment follows recent success at Blue Medora including the launch of its own IT operational analytics platform, SelectStar, $8.6 million in series B funding and the release of its new True Visibility Suite for New Relic.

“2016 was a strong year for us in EMEA and with Ian’s expertise we expect to continue this growth into 2017,” said Blue Medora CEO Nathan Owen. “Ian’s passion for software innovation will help Blue Medora expand our reach and extend adoption of IT operations management in multi-cloud, multi-database and DevOps environments.”

“This is a great time to join an exciting company and I look forward to using my experience to continue its impressive work in the region,” said Wells. “The ITOA market is thriving and helping organisations to enhance visibility across their IT operations is something I am passionate about.”
