Chicago, IL – HERE Technologies, a location data and platform company, today announced that Stephen Patak has been named Senior Vice President (SVP) and General Manager (GM) of the Americas region, effective July 1st, 2020.

“It’s an honor to lead the America’s region during such an unprecedented time,” said Patak. “The pandemic has impacted our customers, partners, and developers across all industries, and our team’s top priority will be to leverage our platform and location data to help them re-align their business for the future. I look forward to continuing to position HERE as a key contributor to helping the world move forward and doing so on a foundation built around inclusion, diversity, and belonging.”

Prior to joining HERE, Patak was the Senior Vice President of Sales for the America’s for Extreme Networks, where he was responsible for defining all aspects of Extreme’s GTM Strategy in the U.S, Canada and Latin America.
