A specialist in 'start-up' environments, he was a contributor to the success and trade sale of AppDNA and Netscaler to Citrix and the UK market floatation of Netstore. Most recently at AppDNA, Mr. Coleman was regional VP for Northern Europe where he defined, staffed and executed the go-to-market plan and was instrumental to accelerating AppDNA growth and building on a leadership position in a competitive market.
