Prior to Interwoven, Pal worked at Computer Associates for nine years in the UK operation, managing a wide range of business divisions and service offerings, and has also worked at the ICL Group. At Zeus, Pal will be responsible for developing and implementing the global sales strategy, including managing the international sales team, developing revenue streams and taking Zeus’ products and solutions into new markets.
