Team player Güner Aksoy new at Qualtrics

Güner Aksoy has been appointed Head of DACH at Qualtrics. As the face of Qualtrics in the German-speaking region, he is responsible for the sales area. His most important task is to make the experience management category even better known in the DACH region.

He will report to Stephanie Barton, Managing Director EMEA. Aksoy joins Qualtrics from Pure Storage, where he was responsible for the business in Germany and Austria for five years, most recently as Vice President Central Europe. During this time, he increased the number of employees tenfold and established the company as a market leader.

His previous positions paint a similar picture: both as head of the VCE unit (a joint venture between EMC, Cisco and VMWare) and in his almost eight years at EMC Germany, he led his teams to success. The business administration graduate can look back on over 25 years of professional experience, primarily in the IT infrastructure and storage sector.

But it's not just the pure facts that speak for Aksoy, his approach to people is also convincing. With his heartfelt topics of people management and job satisfaction, he not only hits the nerve of the times, but also the one-team concept of Qualtrics.
