E-Spirit shuffles management to enhance channel support

E-Spirit has announced a senior team reshuffle that it says will strengthen its worldwide partner programme.

Andreas Knoor has been appointed as the new chief operating officer for the US-based e-Spirit Inc business, while former COO Robert Bredlau, after four years of heading up e-Spirit Inc, will spearhead the company’s International Partner Management Programme from January 2016.

Bredlau joined the content management technology supplier in 2007, and has over 16 years experience working in the content management sector. In 2011, he moved to Boston to establish e-Spirit in the US. He is returning to Europe as vice president for international partner management and channels.

“With our focus on delivering the industry’s best content management system, partners play an essential role in helping customers implement a comprehensive solution that is truly transformative,” Bredlau said. “We have enjoyed considerable success growing our partner network over the past few years and I look forward to continuing this momentum on a global scale.”

Christoph Feddersen will be taking over Knoor’s previous position as vice president product management. Feddersen joined e-Spirit in 2001 as a consultant in the professional services team, and he moved to product management in 2010. In his new role he will be responsible for the strategic development of the company’s FirstSpirit integrations and product enhancements.
