David King Harris will lead Airship’s EMEA sales organization directing regional growth from the company’s new London office in Southwark and its locations in France and Germany. King-Harris brings nearly a decade of sales leadership experience driving European business objectives for martech companies including Lyris, Silverpop, IBM and, most recently, Movable Ink as regional vice president sales EMEA. Prior to that, King-Harris founded a project management company at 18 years old, which he led for eight years before acquisition.

An Airship veteran, Jeff Winsor has been promoted to the role of vice president of technology services where he will lead Airship’s program management, technical documentation and quality assurance teams.

Prior to Airship, Winsor held executive level roles at Tektronix, Read-Rite Corporation and Flexstar Technology.

These leadership appointments follow the unveiling of Airship’s new brand last month, conveying its dramatic growth in engagement solutions spanning any digital channel and its pivotal role in fueling customer-centric digital transformation initiatives for world-leading brands. Earlier this year, the company acquired Accengage to form the world’s largest mobile customer engagement company and solidify its global market dominance.

“By any measure or independent evaluation, Airship leads the market it pioneered 10 years ago—-and it’s due to the hundreds of Airshippers innovating and delivering business solutions to customers everyday,” said Brett Caine, CEO and president, Airship. “Dale, Neil, David and Jeff bring an incredible set of leadership skills to further refine and scale our teams, technology and expertise to best serve Airship’s expanding global customer base.”
