New Additions to AvePoint’s Executive Leadership

Christopher Larsen has joined AvePoint as Chief Revenue Officer. Larsen comes to AvePoint with more than 20 years of experience in the enterprise software industry – with extensive sales leadership skills, industry go-to-market expertise, and a focus on continual customer value creation. His previous role was Chief Revenue Officer of Model N, a leading global software provider of cloud-based revenue management solutions to life sciences, high tech, and manufacturing companies, where he led the successful transformation from the on-premises to cloud-based SaaS model. He has also held senior leadership positions with SAP, TIBCO, and Infragistics. Larsen will lead AvePoint’s global sales organization, delivering solutions to the global marketplace that help customers migrate, manage, and protect Office 365 and SharePoint data.
“AvePoint is in a great position today – with innovative products that the market needs right now, great customers across the public sector and commercial spaces, and exceptional employees at all levels,” said Larsen. “I’m thrilled to work with AvePoint’s global team to tackle the growth opportunities ahead of us and deliver the end-to-end solutions that help organizations ensure success in the Microsoft Cloud.”
