MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2018 was the first year in which more than 1 billion euros were invested in technology companies across Europe, up from 300 million euros in 2014. To help fuel this growth, Silicon Valley based sales strategy consulting and coaching firm Winning by Design today announced it opened new offices in Helsinki, Finland and Madrid, Spain. It also appointed one of its founding partners, Andy Farquharson, to Managing Director of EMEA and added María Abad to the team to help Nordic and Spanish SaaS and B2B companies grow revenues. Winning by Design already had offices in The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Belgium.
In his new role, Andy will focus on supporting European Venture Capital Funds and helping their portfolio companies to find scalable growth, launching the Winning by Design Nordics operation based in Helsinki and providing support for our existing regional partners in the UK, Benelux and Spain while recruiting new partners in growth markets, like Germany, Ireland and France. Andy was previously VP Sales APAC for LogMeIn and also established Winning by Design and Rock Your Revenue in Australia.
