Softeon’s Patrick Maley sat down with Softeon’s new leaders Scott Gillies and James Newman. James heads the EMEA region, while Scott leads Australia and New Zealand. The group had some laughs while discussing their backgrounds, why they joined Softeon, and the future vision.
The decision to change career courses and companies is a big one. For two WMS-industry veterans, Softeon’s up-and-coming energy, customer-focus, and trusted leadership made the big decision an easy one. They made the choice to join the team. Scott comes to Softeon after 18 years at Manhattan Associates and other companies in supply chain technology.
“Softeon has a history of customers success that we will be able to leverage as we expand Down Under.”
Scott Gillies, Vice President & Managing Director, Australia & New Zealand, Softeon
James was attracted to Softeon after seeing many long-time industry professionals in the company. The people at Softeon had a consistent commitment to customer success. After time at Oracle, JDA, and Grey Orange, he is excited for the new opportunity to establish a presence in new regions.
“It’s exciting what Softeon is doing and how they are moving forward.”
James Newman, Vice President & Managing Director EMEA, Softeon
Both Scott and James highlighted the existing partners and customers in the new regions, which will make the expansion even more beneficial for all groups involved. At the conclusion of the chat, Patrick gave each new leader a special gift tailored to their home country. Scott received a boomerang, while James got a nice tea kettle. Patrick also learned an important lesson on koalas – they are not to be hunted with a boomerang!
