Forterro appoints Andrew Foster as VP of sales for Northern Europe
In his new role, Andrew will lead an experienced sales team across the UK and Sweden, driving growth and helping customers navigate and succeed with digital transformation.
Steve joined Forterro having held various senior roles in Oracle and Capita. He spent 28 years at Oracle, where latterly he led their Applications for Mid Size Enterprises business in Europe. At Capita, he ran two software business divisions focused on the healthcare sector.
He is a strong believer that organisations in the industrial mid-market are the lifeblood of our economy and communities. The current trend of the return of local manufacturing and supply chains is helping fuel their growth. The ‘consumerisation of IT’ is enabling these companies to respond to such trends faster, and at an affordable cost of ownership to facilitate top-line growth and expansion. Digital transformation is at the heart of this enablement, but has to be done with demonstrable and short-term ROI.
Steve is a graduate from Queen’s University, Belfast – and holds executive education from IESE in Barcelona, Ross School of Business in Michigan and London Business School.
