Offline SharePoint

I was really pleased to hear that our VP marketing, Genèse Castonguay, was named as a finalist in the Best Canadian Executive category in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business this year. The Stevie’s are well known international business awards.

This recognition is very well deserved. Genèse is an integral part of the senior management team that has built our SharePoint business from a dream to a profitable powerhouse growing at well over 100% per year. Here’s a summary of her accomplishments:

Genèse contributed to a significant turnaround at Colligo Networks. She was hired to lead marketing in July 2006, shortly after the launch of a new product line. She quickly executed highly effective campaigns that earned significant industry recognition – with awards such as “2008 Best of Tech Ed” and “Windows IT Pro Editors Best” – and increased the marketing database from 3,000 to 30,000 contacts. Genèse also established the company’s inside sales team, achieving 238% year-over-year revenue growth and surpassing sales quota by 124%. Colligo is now profitable and growing over 100% per year, due in large part to Genèse’s dedication and drive.

I’m sure those of you who have met Genèse at tradeshows and other events will join me in congratulating her and wishing her good luck at the awards ceremony in New York in November!
