Global real estate solutions company MRI Software has named three experienced technology leaders to key senior vice president roles in sales, services and revenue operations – in addition to broadening company President John Ensign’s role to Executive Managing Director of North America. The company has appointed Sherry Lautenbach as senior vice president of North America sales, Eric Walsh as senior vice president of global services, and Jamie Brown as senior vice president of global revenue operations.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Sherry, Eric and Jamie to MRI’s seasoned executive team,” said Patrick Ghilani, MRI’s chief executive officer. “As we continue to grow, their expertise will be a key factor in helping MRI clients get the most value from our solutions. Additionally, John Ensign’s expanded role supports our goal to better serve each of our markets and deliver exceptional client experiences.”
In her new role, Lautenbach oversees the North American sales team and the global partner team. Before joining MRI, she was senior vice president of global B2B sales at Pros, which provides artificial intelligence-based e-commerce solutions. Previous roles include senior vice president of cloud sales for key accounts at Oracle, senior vice president of Americas sales at Nutanix and general manager for the distribution market, North America at IBM.
Walsh brings nearly two decades of enterprise software leadership and expertise to MRI’s professional services, managed services, client success and client operations teams. He is responsible for ensuring client journey excellence and maximizing value realization for each customer’s business. Previously, Walsh was the vice president of professional services and operations for NCR, a Fortune 500 software and services company. Before that, he held senior leadership roles at SunGard, FIS and PowerSchool.
Brown oversees strategy, operations and enablement across MRI’s revenue teams. She previously served as senior vice president of global revenue operations at Syniti, a global data migration company. Before that, she worked at SAP for more than 15 years, holding a series of leadership roles in operations, strategy and total rewards.
In his additional role Ensign is now directly responsible for the overall success of the North American arm of the business. The new role mirrors the regional leadership structure already in place for EMEA and APAC and positions MRI’s North American region to maximize success for clients. Holding a number of roles at the company since joining in 2010 – including chief legal officer – Ensign also oversees MRI’s shared services, which include global client support, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, talent management, employee relations and benefits.
