Milestone Systems, has recently announced that Bjørn Skou Eilertsen, former Vice President Business Unit Corporate Products, will take on a new role as Milestone’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

At the MIPS 2016 partner conference, Milestone announced it will transition towards a community-focused business. As CTO, Eilertsen will drive technology strategy with focus on further tuning products and service offerings to meet the future needs of the Milestone community.

“Bjørn is the perfect fit to lead our technology and product groups though this transition. At heart, he is a true technologist and also a proven strategist and general manager with extraordinary vision and operational expertise. His unique experience and proven ability to effectively collaborate across the company and the fast growing Milestone community will serve us well,” said Lars Thinggaard, President & CEO, Milestone Systems.

“I am thrilled to take the lead with the Product Group in working across boundaries between the company and the community. My goal is to accelerate innovation on the Milestone technology platform in collaboration with partners,” commented Eilertsen.

Eilertsen joined Milestone in 2013 as Vice President for the Corporate Business Unit. He has been a determined leader in building Milestone’s advanced solutions into strong products with compelling advantages for our customers. He holds a Master of Science in Business Administration and Computer Science from Copenhagen Business School and assumes his new role on October 3rd, 2016.

Eilertsen takes over from Milestone’s previous co-founder and Chief Product Officer (CPO), John Blem, who decided to leave Milestone. Blem is the visionary architect and father of Milestone’s open technology platform.
