SANTA CLARA, USA: Mobile broadband gateway developer Stoke, Inc. today announced the appointment of Magnus Almquist as VP, Worldwide Sales.
In this new role, Magnus will be responsible for worldwide sales at Stoke and the expansion of the company’s field sales organization, building on the company’s accelerating momentum as a provider of innovative data service delivery solutions for mobile broadband operators.
During 2010, Stoke achieved triple digit revenue growth through customer engagements in North Asia, Europe and North America and passed its 200th shipment milestone ahead of target during the fourth quarter of the year.
