Frida Ottosson Joins Cognism as VP of US Sales
Boston-based Ottosson joins to lead US sales team as company scales rapidly.
Cognism, the globally compliant sales intelligence company, has today announced that Boston-based Frida Ottosson has joined the company as VP of US Sales. Formerly the senior director of sales at Appcues, Frida will lead Cognism’s 35-strong US sales team to accelerate its enterprise market presence.
Working alongside VP of Global Sales Jonathon Ilett, Frida’s aim is to mirror Cognism’s success across Europe as it continues to firmly establish itself as the premium B2B data provider of choice for sales and marketing teams looking to have more relevant conversations with ideal-fit buyers using accurate and compliant sales intelligence.
Due to being headquartered in London, Cognism has expert knowledge of the GDPR and other data compliance complexities. It applies this knowledge not just in EMEA, but globally.
Frida said:
“My experience in IT sales means I understand the challenges that sales teams face when it comes to working with prospect data and the need for quality and compliance.
“There are hundreds of data providers professing to have the best data here in the US, but Cognism provides unrivalled compliant data with the reassurance of quality that others simply don’t have - understanding the global market and investing to ensure global compliance and next-level accuracy.
“It’s an exciting time to join Cognism and lead the US sales team as it continues to grow internationally - the US enterprise companies are hungry for new revenue streams, so the need for accurate, globally compliant data has never been more vital.”
James Isilay, CEO at Cognism, said:
“Frida’s appointment at Cognism reflects the continued opportunities the US market presents for us.
“Her experience in leading enterprise software sales teams means she understands the needs of our increasing potential US client base and can grow and motivate the team to drive success in North America.”
Cognism is a genuinely global business with its headquarters in London, UK and five further offices spanning three continents. Today the company has over 400 employees and 1.8k customers worldwide.
Frida takes up her role with immediate effect.
