Gartner Director Joins ABI

New York-based ABI Research has appointed Joe Hamner, until recently Director of Strategic Accounts at Gartner, Inc., to head up its sales effort.

Hamner, whose new title is Vice President, Sales, has worked in technology-focused business development and leadership for nearly 15 years, of which the last five were spent at Gartner, initially as Global Account Manager. He worked previously in high-level sales positions at Automatic Data Processing (ADP) and Kodak. He holds a business degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

ABI began monitoring selected technology markets fifteen years ago, and many have grown from niches into major, mainstream sectors, while data distribution has been radically changed by the Internet. ABI Research President Tim Archdeacon says that despite these changes 'building and maintaining relationships is more critical than ever. That's why ABI Research has chosen an experienced executive who can help us take the enormous investment we have made in content development over the past three years, and open new doors among new and existing clients'.

Hamner says ABI's in-depth expertise was attractive in an industry that 'too often leaves the client with a 10,000-foot view of their market... They understand the importance of providing high-value insight to their target markets, rather than high-level data to a general audience'.
