Medius Strengthens Global Sales Leadership with Dual Appointments
Medius, a leading provider of autonomous AP and wider Spend Management solutions, announces the appointment of Ashley Botten as Executive Vice President of EMEA Sales and the promotion of Mary Flynn Barton to Executive Vice President of North America Sales as the company aims to strengthen its global sales leadership after a period of rapid growth across markets.
Based in London, Botten will be responsible for developing strategy and building sales across EMEA. He brings nearly 20 years of technology sales and leadership experience and joins Medius from Tipalti where he built and led the company’s European sales team. Botten also held various regional sales leadership roles at Meltwater and served as Chief Revenue Officer at Peach.
Ashley Botten has a proven track record in building and leading commercial teams from pre-revenue stages to multi-territory operations and managing large-scale sales teams. His expertise in launching new markets, integrating acquisitions, and growing international revenue will aid him in his new role as Medius focuses on the global expansion of its customer base.
In addition to the appointment of Botten as Executive Vice President of EMEA Sales, Medius has promoted Mary Flynn Barton to Executive Vice President of North American Sales, deepening the company’s investment in expanding its presence in North America.
Barton is an award-winning and top revenue-generating technology sales leader and spend management expert. She joined Medius in July of 2022 and has played an integral role in strengthening Medius’ North American sales function. Under her leadership, new bookings from North America increased more than 80%. In addition to North American revenue responsibilities, Barton has also taken on responsibility for global sales support functions at Medius including Sales Enablement, Sales Operations and Solutions Consulting. In her expanded role, she will work to bring consistency and improved visibility to the sales process.
Jim Lucier, CEO of Medius, comments: “In an inspiring time of growth for the company, the addition of Ashley to our team and the promotion of Mary is an investment in our global sales teams to provide Medius customers with best-in-class autonomous AP solutions and transform the way finance teams operate.
