VertiGIS, a leading global provider of spatial asset management solutions, has opened its new United States utilities headquarters in Denver, Colorado, merging VertiGIS’ existing US-based utilities, sales and marketing, presales and support teams into one entity.
Greg Brazeau has been appointed as VertiGIS’ new Vice President of Sales for its North American utilities business. With over 25 years of experience in managing water, wastewater, and stormwater markets, Greg will lead the experienced North American utilities go-to-market teams.
Greg is joined by an experienced enterprise-class sales team: Joe Morocco for pre-sales, with over five years of solutions engineering experience; and Ginni Stieva for North American utilities marketing, with over 20 years of utilities marketing experience. Steve Grise, a 30-year utilities veteran with unparalleled domain knowledge, will lead VertiGIS’ new global strategic consulting business for utilities, and report directly to CEO, Andy Berry.
As part of its aggressive US growth strategy, VertiGIS has hired new utilities specialists and deployed staff into the US utilities operation with immediate effect, ensuring a seamless transition into the new structure.
“This is an exciting time for VertiGIS’ strategic growth plans. Our investment in Denver is central to our continued utilities expansion and increasing market share in the United States,” said Andy Berry, Chief Executive Officer at VertiGIS. “With Greg’s experience and business leadership, we’re perfectly positioned to make VertiGIS the go-to solution for simplifying complex and intricate network management for utilities.”
The new Denver operation complements VertiGIS’ existing offices in Victoria, British Columbia (housing enterprise-focused operations and software development), and Richmond, Virginia, which covers telecommunications solutions.
Utilities organisations in the United States frequently struggle with the fragmented structure and approach around managing network infrastructure across towns and cities.
VertiGIS’ utilities team will be dedicated to streamlining this process for new and existing utilities customers, removing unnecessary complexity for those that manage linear infrastructure and assets that are part of water, wastewater, stormwater, electric, and gas networks. This will be accomplished by implementing VertiGIS’ industry-leading, web-based VertiGIS Networks suite of applications.
VertiGIS Networks helps utility organisations to effectively manage various tasks such as field operations, GIS data management, asset management, and IT system administration. This enables utilities to streamline their workflows and complete projects with greater speed and ease.
