Jonathan will focus on executing VertiGIS’ UK and Nordic plans to accelerate growth in the region. Jonathan will also build a closer working relationship with Esri UK, the global leader in location intelligence.
VertiGIS recently announced a new multinational partnership agreement with Esri which provides a framework for joint business efforts, ultimately enabling both companies to best serve their global customers.

Jonathan has over three decades of sales leadership and strategic expertise and is an accomplished front-line sales and business leader with extensive experience in international software leadership. He has led multi-million-dollar enterprise software companies and has been responsible for full P&L and commercial goals.
Before joining VertiGIS, Jonathan was VP of Sales EMEA and APAC for Infor, a global leader in business cloud software, with over 17,000 employees and 67,000 customers worldwide. Prior to Infor, Jonathan served as VP of International Sales and Channels for Crawford Technologies, a global leader in high-value solutions for high-value documents.

Jonathan also served as SVP of Global Enterprise Sales for world-class telecommunications company ZephyrTel, an ESW Capital Software company. In this role, he was responsible for multi-million-dollar sales and renewals revenue globally, managing a team of new business and account management functions across nine separate products in the telco industry.
“Jonathan has deep experience in growing and scaling enterprise software and telco companies,” said Andy Berry, CEO of VertiGIS. “We are excited to welcome him to the VertiGIS team to maximise sales opportunities and lead our business development strategy in the region. We have exciting plans for our next phase of growth in partnership with Esri and I look forward to having Jonathan’s knowledge and expertise guide us.”
VertiGIS and Esri have been partners for many years, with VertiGIS currently holding certifications of Esri partner specialities in State and Local Government, Network Management, Cloud Services, and nine listings on ArcGIS Marketplace, supporting customers with ArcGIS-based solutions in over 50 countries.
Jonathan’s appointment follows the launch of VertiGIS’ new cloud infrastructure, uniting all VertiGIS solutions into global cloud platforms, using Microsoft Azure’s public cloud. This enables VertiGIS customers to reduce their hosting costs while optimising their technology in a more secure, scalable, and modern environment.
“I’m looking forward to building VertiGIS’ presence in the UK and Nordics. Our technology helps utilities, telcos and infrastructure/facilities management organisations better leverage and have visibility of their assets quickly and seamlessly. Many of these organisations have decades-old ageing infrastructure and are looking to modernise and migrate to the cloud and with our new cloud infrastructure we can help them achieve this,” said Jonathan Daniel, VP of Sales for Northern Europe and UK Managing Director at VertiGIS.
