IQNavigator, a US-based provider of non-employee workforce management solutions, is expanding its presence in Europe with the formation of a dedicated team in Germany. Frank Thies has been appointed Country Manager and Sales Director for Central Europe. 

The IQNavigator team based in Munich will provide on-the-ground support for existing German customers and partners, while working to establish new customer relationships in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The office will also serve customers elsewhere in Central Europe, where IQNavigator sees demand from global companies with regional operations, as well as companies headquartered in the region.

Mr Thies brings more than 20 years’ experience in professional services and sales. In addition to leading the company’s regional sales efforts, he will develop and build out the IQNavigator team in Germany.   

Simon Fahie, Managing Director of EMEA and APAC for IQNavigator, commented: “Frank’s experience and expertise will build upon IQNavigator’s existing successes in Europe and shape future expansion in the region. This move underscores IQNavigator’s commitment to the German market and brings a deeper understanding of the issues facing our partners and customers across Europe.” 

IQNavigator has made expansion of its EMEA operations a top strategic priority to meet rapidly growing demand for its vendor management system (VMS) which helps global enterprises better manage their non-employee workforces and procured services around the world. IQNavigator’s addition of a local sales and support team in Munich is an extension of that strategy and part of establishing a more significant foothold in the German market.
