BERLIN, April 16th, 2024 – emnify, the leader in cloud-native IoT connectivity solutions, today announced its expansion in Latin America. Latin America’s IoT market is poised for significant growth and innovation, and emnify’s initial launch in the region less than a year ago, in Brazil, underscored the importance of leveraging new opportunities as the region explores the increasing potential of connected technologies.
Since the service launch in Brazil in August 2023, the company has exceeded its sales expectations and enhanced its local team to meet the demands of the growing number of businesses in the country.
Driven by these promising results, the company announces Carlos Campos as Vice President of Sales for Latin America, adding to his current position as Managing Director for Brazil. Campos has more than 25 years’ experience in global technology and telecom organizations such as Unisys, Xerox, Lumen Technologies, Arqia/Datora, and DXC and will contribute to this expansion in Latin America as part of emnify’s strategy to grow its operations in the region and consolidate itself as one of the main business drivers in the telecommunications market.
Carlos will be leading emnify’s expansion of its sales and support functions to serve Spanish-speaking customers locally, from Mexico to Central America and the Caribbean, from the Northern Andes to the Southern Cone, accelerating IoT connectivity adoption across the Latin American region.
“The explosion of internet-enabled devices in various sectors, such as fleet management, telemetry, logistics, insurance, means of payment, retail, smart cities, health, agribusiness and urban mobility, to name a few, shows that there is still a lot to develop for the telecom sector in Latin America, and we are excited to leverage this market even further. We’re aware of the increasing demand for IoT connectivity in various areas on the continent, and our commitment is to deliver even more coverage, security, flexibility and agility to our customers,” commented Christian Rodatus, emnify Chief Operating Officer.
“Latin America is evolving into an advanced IoT connectivity market with high uptake across diverse application areas like retail and asset tracking,” observed Fredrik Stalbrand, Principal Analyst at Berg Insight, a global independent industry analyst and consulting firm. “Multi-network connectivity is essential across the region to ensure reliable access especially for moving assets, as coverage varies between different network operators,” he added.
