US-based location data management firm Yext has appointed former Oracle exec Andy Champion as Vice President, Northern Europe.

Yext has offices in McLean, VA, Chicago, New York and London, and offers a proprietary service called Location Cloud, allowing companies to manage location data across their web sites, mobile apps, and internal systems, as well as maps, social media networks, directories, and search engines. The firm recently opened its Northern European headquarters in London, where it appointed former Criteo MD Jon Buss as Managing Director.

Champion (pictured) joins with more than fifteen years’ SaaS sales and leadership experience. Most recently, he served as Oracle Marketing Cloud’s Head of Sales for EMEA, where he and his team quadrupled revenues in the first two years after the acquisition of B2C marketing software company Responsys, where he served as Vice President of Sales, EMEA. Commenting on the appointment, Buss said: ‘As we tackle the massive opportunity to put European businesses on the map, we’re fortunate to have some of the best talent in SaaS on our team. Welcoming Andy to Yext is a key part of our strategy, as he will play a critical role growing our footprint here in the United Kingdom and across Europe.’
