Trackunit chief executive Jorgen Raguse said: “Jeff’s past role and successful exits, combined with his industry leadership and experience in our target market is the ideal fit. He knows and understands our customers and has already been instrumental in executing two new OEM partnerships in a very short period of time. Our target market is less than 10 percent penetrated with telematics, and even less when focusing on the operator and their mobile work. Jeff is working closely with us to expand that message globally, and his experience specifically in this marketplace will allow us to leverage our leading position in Europe within North America.”

Cohen added: “The industrial IoT space is unique in its requirements, and Trackunit has done a terrific job focusing on the customer now with an eye towards the future. It is incredible to see a company so actively engaged in solving the right problems for multiple machine asset classes. I look forward to driving this initiative forward and going further down the asset value stack to things like tools, parts, etc.”

In other changes chief technology officer Soeren Brogaard Jensen moves to a new role as chief commercial officer. He has worked with Trackunit since August 2016, having joined the company following six years with Schneider Electric/APC as vice president of software and managed services. Prior to that he spent five and a half years with APC working on enterprise software.
