Commenting on his appointment, he said: “Klipboard is at a pivotal stage in its journey and I’m excited to help shape the next phase of growth. Success in enterprise markets doesn’t come from technology alone; it comes from people who are aligned, ambitious and committed to delivering real value. My focus will be on building that culture: empowering teams, strengthening partnerships and ensuring our customers feel the impact of everything we do.”

James Mitchell, CEO of Europe at Klipboard, added: “Mike’s appointment couldn’t come at a more pivotal time for Klipboard.

Upson brings over 15 years of senior experience in ERP solution sales and leadership, with a proven track record of driving performance, team development and strategic growth across a range of sectors.

He began his career in financial sales and consulting, founding and leading a successful pension planning consultancy. Over the past decade and a half, he has built an impressive career in ERP software sales, with a focus on the Merchant/Distribution, Food & Beverage, Apparel and Retail industries. His expertise spans a range of leading ERP platforms and technologies.

Most recently, Upson held senior leadership roles at a global ERP provider, where he progressed from award-winning Account Executive to Regional Manager, ultimately leading the company’s European ERP team following a strategic acquisition in 2022.
