As Executive VP of Marketing, I work to identify business needs and help QorusDocs’ clients generate revenue more effectively and efficiently. I spearhead efforts to increase brand awareness through digital marketing and client engagement.

This funding is going to help us accelerate sales and marketing, and drive the execution of our product roadmap globally.

Yesterday we formally announced the successful completion of a $5 million round of financing led by WestRiver Group - news covered by MarTech Series, FinSMes  and Geekwire.

This investment comes at the perfect time  for us - we have been successfully expanding our presence in North America with a growing number of clients, key executive appointments (including our new EVP of Marketing, Jennifer Tomlinson from Microsoft Corp), and critical partnerships.

Presently, more than 4,000 users within the Microsoft Partner Network use Qorus each day to accelerate their sales efforts.
