Hospitality software company Agilysys has named Ben Curtis as the company’s new managing director for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region and Matthew Prosser as senior sales director in EMEA. Curtis and Prosser will help accelerate Agilysys’ continued growth in the EMEA region.
Curtis brings more than 25 years of international hospitality experience in both property management and as a software solution sales executive, most recently as general manager of Verteda, an Agilysys reseller in EMEA. He has worked with large customers in the sports and entertainment markets.
Prosser recently held senior positions at Verteda, including business development director and sales director, and most recently was managing director for MSL Solutions’ new U.K. subsidiary following MSL Solutions’ acquisition of Verteda. His hospitality career began more than 25 years ago and includes senior management roles with luxury hotels as well as at solution vendor Micros.
Both Curtis and Prosser are rejoining Agilysys as former senior employees of Agilysys Europe before Agilysys’ divestiture of its European operations in 2014. Both continued with the divested company, which became Verteda.
“We are excited to welcome Ben and Matthew back to the Agilysys team. With their deep roots in Agilysys solutions and well-established networks, Ben and Matthew will bring robust experience and fresh ideas to help Agilysys grow in EMEA as Agilysys continues to build a strong presence in the global hospitality marketplace,” said Don DeMarinis, SVP of sales & marketing – Americas & EMEA.
