MiX Telematics, the dual-listed mobile asset management solution provider, has appointed Ken Jackson as senior VP of global sales.

Jackson brings 27 years of technology sales and sales management experience to MiX. Before joining the listed company, he was president of Americas for Austrian-based UC4 Software, a private-equity-backed maker of business process solutions.

MiX says in a statement that this team, under Jackson's leadership, grew new licence revenue an average of 22% each year and "enjoyed an unprecedented period of growth and profitability". He also previously worked at ASG Software Solutions, as senior VP of North American sales, where MiX notes he grew the sales team from 30 to well over 100 and averaged more than 30% annual licence growth.

Jackson has also held sales and sales leadership roles at CA Technologies and IBM.

"I am very excited to have landed Ken for this new global role," says CEO Stefan Joselowitz. "Ken brings tremendous experience running global sales efforts, including aligning sales execution with strategy. We look forward to his contributions in leveraging our success in vertical markets to new regions and opening new geographies as well."

MiX Telematics has said its revenue for the new financial year should come in at between R1.388 billion and R1.41 billion, as it anticipates growing its top line by between 8.9% and 10.9%.

"MiX Telematics has a world-class reputation for excellence delivering cloud-based fleet management solutions and has enjoyed an increase in visibility over the past couple of years," says Jackson. "It is exactly the right time to begin capitalising on this hard work with a more systematic global effort, and I couldn't be more pleased with the opportunity to roll up my sleeves and contribute."

MiX provides fleet and mobile asset management solutions delivered as SaaS to customers in more than 120 countries. It was founded in 1996 and has offices in SA, the UK, the US, Uganda, Brazil, Australia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as a network of more than 130 fleet worldwide.
