Barco just announced that industry veteran Daniel Root has joined Barco to lead the Meeting Experience division’s global alliance team.

Root will be responsible for driving strategic alignment as ClickShare accelerates its momentum. With his experience and deep understanding of the market, Root is well-equipped to lead ClickShare’s partnership and alliance program into the future.

Here’s an exclusive interview that rAVe’s Gary Kayye conducted with Root at IC23 last week:

Root joins Barco with over 10 years of experience in enterprise communications and collaboration technologies. Most recently, Root was a senior analyst at Wainhouse Research, where he worked alongside product teams from across the industry to drive innovation and bring next-generation collaboration solutions to market. As an analyst, Root brought together software and hardware vendors to forge partnerships that improve employee experience, increase engagement, and drive adoption.

“Collaboration solutions are evolving and will converge in the years to come, so cross-functional experience will be pivotal to innovation and success within the industry. New partnerships will be key for ClickShare to continue to be the center of the workplace experience,” says Stijn Henderickx, EVP Meeting & Learning Experience. “Dan’s strong background and extensive understanding of the enterprise collaboration market will help drive the execution and success of our strategic plan.”

“With a transforming industry and the growing importance of collaboration technologies, it’s an exciting time to take on the role of Global Strategic Alliance Lead at Barco,” says Root. “I’m honored to be part of ClickShare’s journey and look forward to leading our partnership and alliance program to create workspaces where people love meeting.”
