Multi-platform mobile apps company Kony has announced a new hire it says will continue the expansion of its partner programme. 

Robin Kearon joins the company on the back of 20 years experience building consulting companies. He has also held senior positions at Accenture, CSC, Deloitte and Intelligroup – the latter was founded by Kony Founder and CEO, Raj Koneru.

“Having established and nurtured joint market value with Oracle, SAP and Salesforce.com while leading consulting firms, I see the opportunities and challenges from our partners perspective. This point of view allows me to align their needs to our vision for the programme,” says Robin Kearon, vice president, channels and alliances, Kony. “Our primary goal is to deliver value to our customers by leveraging the technical and industry expertise that exists within our partner community and provide scale to support Konys rapid growth.”

Konys partners include AT&T, CSC, IBM, Infosys, Wipro, RIM, CashEdge, and Webtrends. The company works with partners to intergrate technologies into its Kony Platform. 

“As we continue to extend our capabilities and customer base, we must embrace the capabilities of our partners to enhance the delivery of our technology,” says Raj Koneru, Kony CEO. “Our partners also allow us to continue to innovate based upon the combined expertise the programme creates. Robin has the expertise and drive to make this programme a success. I am delighted to have him leading this critical part of the business; he will enable us to grow and support our customers exponentially.”
