VeUP, a London-based SaaS services provider specialising in helping startups to scale up, has appointed Damian Skendrovic as its new CEO as it continues its growth trajectory and scales its international operations.
Skendrovic joined VeUP in January this year as general manager for EMEA, responsible for driving the continued growth of the business’ successful European operation.
Prior to this, he served as CEO of global digital transformation enabler Logicalis, after a successful period as EVP at global technology and business solutions provider NTT Ltd.
VeUP’s appointment of a new CEO to spearhead operations comes as the business continues to strengthen its senior leadership team, following the recent appointments of veteran technology executive and startup advisor, Mike Siegel, as general manager for North America, and the arrival of Cheryl Powell as head of HR.
“I’m proud to step up to the role of CEO at this incredibly exciting time for VeUP,” said Skendrovic. “We consider ourselves to be one of the world’s fastest-growing companies in the SaaS industry and have been blown away by the successful engagement with the tech start-up community to date.
“The appetite among startups and their founders for our one-stop-shop offering as software businesses is encouraging to see, as young businesses continue to be ambitious with their objectives to scale up.”
Established in 2022, VeUP is a global team of former startup founders, cloud and technical experts, go-to-market specialists, venture capitalists, and business operations leaders.
By integrating expertise, a range of technical and non-technical services, and through its partnership with early-stage venture capital fund Quadri Ventures, VeUP supports startups throughout their growth journey.
It is accredited as an Amazon Web Services Advanced Tier Services Partner.
“As GM for EMEA since January, it’s been rewarding to oversee our continued growth in the UK and across Europe,” continued Skendrovic.
“However, our aspirations span far beyond Europe. Following the recent launch of our North American operations, headed up by our General Manager Mike Siegel, our mission now is to establish VeUP as a truly global operation, offering top tier services to clients around the world.
“I’m looking forward to being in the driving seat of our ambitious mission and championing the next generation of SaaS scale-ups.”
