Experienced management and marketing expert is Kenshoo’s new Vice President Northern and Central Europe based in Munich

Kenshoo (www.Kenshoo.com), the global leader in predictive media optimization technology, has appointed Espen Lund as Vice President Northern and Central Europe, responsible for the strategic and operational development of the company in the region. From Munich, Lund and his team will manage Kenshoo operations within the German speaking (DACH) countries, Benelux, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
Mr. Lund brings more than 20 years of management experience and know-how including expertise in areas such as global sales and marketing, product management and consulting and procurement services. Prior to joining Kenshoo, he held several senior positions, including VP Global Sales, Marketing & Services at Sennheiser, Managing Director for the DACH Region at 3Com and VP Sales Europe at PTC.
With a degree in International Management, Lund, who is a native Scandinavian, knows Germany very well, making it his adopted country since 1991. He has also lived more than eight years in the United States.
In addition to Kenshoo’s technology and products, Lund feels the company’s people are a key factor in its success:
“The digital marketing sector is incredibly dynamic – it is growing rapidly with an ongoing stream of new niches and opportunities. To me, Kenshoo not only stands for premium marketing technologies, but also for a unique team spirit. Kenshoo’s dedicated and professional team has a ‘can do’ attitude which drives success and makes working life fun and exciting.”
In addition to the Munich office, Lund seeks to establish this unique Kenshoo team spirit at a new branch office which is planned to open in Stockholm.
“Our priority is to introduce digital marketers and online agencies in our region to the ways in which Kenshoo technology can help them maximize their search and social media marketing campaigns,” explains Lund.
“When I was entrusted with the task of building a team to strengthen Kenshoo’s position in the EMEA region, Espen was the first choice for Northern and Central Europe. With his experience and strong leadership skills, he will put together the right team that embodies our guiding values – passion, innovation and humility. These values are essential to driving our success in partnership with leading agencies and digital marketers,” said Rob Coyne, Managing Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Kenshoo.
Kenshoo has a history of industry-leading innovation and recently unveiled Kenshoo Anywhere, a mobile application to monitor digital marketing campaigns. Other Kenshoo first-to-market innovations in the past year include Kenshoo Halogen Technology, which provides marketers with predictive modeling and advanced scenario planning, Kenshoo Social Demand-Driven Campaigns and Kenshoo SmartPath dynamic attribution.
