Jena, Germany, 2016-Nov-02 — /EPR Retail News/ — Intershop Communications AG has made two major new appointments in the areas of marketing and sales. Effective immediately, Carsten Schröder is the new head of marketing for Europe. An experienced industry expert, Carsten brings a wealth of experience from his twelve-year management career in marketing and public relations. Prior to joining Intershop, Carsten was most recently head of marketing for one of SAP’s leading e-commerce partners in southern Germany.
Axel Köhler, Intershop’s Chief Operating Officer, is excited about the new appointment: “With Carsten Schröder, we’ve brought an expert on board who has an excellent understanding of the e-commerce market—both B2B and B2C. Together with his team, Carsten will boost Intershop’s visibility in target markets by raising our profile among decision-makers of key clients and partners, as well as in the expert networks that really matter for us. I’m confident he will succeed in sharpening our market focus and generating significant new impetus for sales.” Working closely with Carsten Schröder will be Intershop’s new head of sales for the German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), Thorsten Desch. After joining Intershop as a key account manager in December 2013, Thorsten quickly cemented his reputation through the acquisition of a large number of new customers and has overseen various complex migration projects for major clients.
Axel Köhler: “Thorsten’s trademarks are his unerring client focus and goal-oriented collaboration with our implementation partners. In our highly competitive sector, his market knowledge, technical expertise, and personality give him a level of authenticity that could almost be emblematic for Intershop as a whole. He is the best candidate to lead our sales team forward in what is one of our most important regions.”
