IGEL has introduced two new executive sales leaders to its team. Mads Skalbo has joined as the Vice President of Global MSP (managed service provider) business, while Eric Kline has taken on the role of Vice President of Channel Sales, EMEA. Both executives, previously with Citrix, bring decades of experience in the end-user computing and enterprise software market, contributing to IGEL’s ongoing growth strategy.
“Furthering the IGEL growth and expansion mission, I am pleased to welcome Mads and Eric to our seasoned sales leadership organization,” said Klaus Oestermann, CEO, IGEL. “Each have unique and proven skills that will continue to amplify our market penetration across key regions in Europe and with the high-growth MSP market category. Their proven track records and expansive contacts will be exceptionally valuable as we accelerate adoption of IGEL OS, worldwide.”
Mads Skalbo joins IGEL following more than a decade of experience with Citrix where he most recently served as Senior Director, Citrix Service Providers, EMEA leading the adoption of Citrix across the European service provider landscape.

“MSPs around the globe are quickly realizing the value of IGEL OS as the most effective way to deliver a preventative security approach across their customers’ end user computing enterprises, protecting endpoints regardless of where employees are working with an inherently secure, tamper-proof operating platform that reduces organizations’ attack surface,” said Skalbo. “I’m eager to be a key contributor to building IGEL’s presence across the MSP community. This is a central part of our strategy to accelerate adoption of IGEL OS in the mid-market.”

“The new era of hybrid work requires that IT support its employees with the most secure digital workspace to empower productive work,” said Kline. “IGEL delivers the enterprise-class endpoint platform today’s business need to empower users while supporting the security and cost-efficiency today’s businesses need. I look forward to growing the market share footprint of IGEL OS across the EMEA channel ecosystem as we capitalize on the hybrid work paradigm.”
