Tucson,
AZ – September 2020 / Newsmaker Alert / As part of a renewed focus
on global growth in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kevin
Bate, former Senior Director Of Business Development, has been promoted
to Simpleview’s Vice President of Global Sales.
|
During
his 15-year tenure at Simpleview,
Bate has been an integral part of the New Business team, working to generate
business on six different continents and build an international sales team.
In this new position, he will focus on further expanding the organization’s
global footprint in Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia Pacific, Latin America
and the Caribbean.
“Kevin’s
knowledge of the industry, our organization, and his global connections
made him the natural choice for this position,” said Greg Evans, Vice President
of Sales & Account Services. “We’re looking forward to seeing what
he brings to the table as he focuses his efforts on global growth and working
with our sales teams in each region.”
Going
forward, Bate will lead the regional directors of business development,
including Paul Franke Jr. (US/Canada), Rebeca Berriochoa (LATAM/Caribbean),
Caroline Dawson (UK/Northern Europe), and Christian Ortlepp (EMEA) to analyze
data and industry intelligence in order to develop market-specific sales
strategies.
“The
pandemic will likely accelerate the evolution of destination organizations,
so we will need to make sure Simpleview evolves as well, to ensure we continue
to provide valuable solutions to the problems facing the destination organizations
of the future,” said Bate.
He
continued, “More importantly, a successful year of sales translates into
helping destinations succeed — which helps create and sustain jobs, improve
the lives of residents, and brings the world a little closer together through
travel.”
