Softpro appointed Youcef Hamadache as Regional Sales Director

Mr Hamadache is responsible for both direct sales as well as the management of Softpro’s extensive partner network in his region. He will further intensify partnerships with existing system integrators and spark new alliances. Companies intending to include check verification and/or e-Signing capabilities into their portfolio are most welcome to contacting Mr Hamadache to kicking off partnering negociations.

Softpro has several high profile customers and partners in Youcef’s region: Some of the largest banks and telecommunication operators in the world based in France rely on SOFTPROs solution for fraud detection and dematerialization through paperless signing. The very successful and multi-award winning E-Signing project in Spanish Savings Banks (“Firma Digitalizada”) has sparked major interest in neighboring countries as well as in the Middle East and Africa in the deployment of signature tablets. Investigating the options for trustworthy signature capturing on iPads, the latest addition to Softpro’s signature portfolio is a hot topic for many organizations across the various industries.

Youcef Hamadache is a seasoned expert in tablet computing as well in signature processing. He has already been working with Softpro between 2001 and 2005. In that time frame Microsoft launched the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition in November 2002. It seems as if nine years later the Apple iPad fulfills many of the promises once given with the launch of the Tablet PCs: “Contract signing on the Go” is now available powered by SignDoc.

Youcef brings more than 20 Years of professional experience in Consultative Sales, Business Development, and Partner Management in technology areas, such as: Telecommunications, IT, Biometrics & Security, serving business verticals as Telco’s, Financials, Insurance, Enterprise, Public Safety and Retail. He developed business for various sized companies on regional as well as international scale, holding executive roles, such as VP of worldwide Business Development, Managing Director or Head of Sales. Moreover he speaks fluent French, Arab, English and last, but not least German.

"We are very happy to have Youcef back on board." says Softpro founder and CEO Heinz Reschke. "The Softpro team and many of our customers are excited that Youcef Hamadache is back to the signature arena. He is very well remembered among our customers, prospects, partners and the financial industry. We know that he enjoys an outstanding reputation for being a businessman with integrity, committed to sustainable partnerships. Now we will write the next chapters in our joint success story".

"I look forward to serving our end-custumers and partners." states Youcef Hamadache. "We are ready for today's and tomorrows' challenges and will serve the industries with cutting edge signature solutions. We strive to continue to be the preferred partner for best-in-class in check fraud detection and prevention as well as delivering the best solutions for electronic signatures based on handwritten signatures."

Youcef Hamadache is reporting directly to the Head of Sales of the Softpro Group, Peter Reschke. Prospects, customers and partners in South Africa will continue to be managed by Peter Reschke while Pierre Mansourati continues to be the Softpro representative for Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.
