McLean, Va., Apr 17, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Avectra, a developer of web-based Social CRM solutions for associations and not-for-profits, today announced that Peggy Padalino will join the company as senior vice president of global sales.

In her new role, Padalino will oversee all of Avectra's sales operations, including business development and international partners.

"With the increased relevance and necessity for Social CRM, Avectra is uniquely positioned to become a world leader in this arena. I am confident of the quality of Avectra's products and am proud to lead the sales team in expanding our reach to the international and the domestic market." Prior to joining Avectra, Padalino served as vice president of sales and client services at Jobfox, a job networking site, and as vice president of sales for INPUT, a government market intelligence firm. Previously Padalino held director-level positions at Vocus, Inc. and CareerBuilder, Inc. At Vocus, she managed a team of account sales executives selling public relations automation software in Fortune 2000 accounts. At CareerBuilder, Padalino was one of the founding sales executives with direct responsibility for building a 150 person sales force deployed in 26 markets in the USA. Padalino held management-level sales positions at Sybase, SCO and Data General earlier in her career.
