James Mulligan is the Head of Incentives, Product Marketing at Varicent, starting his career with Varicent Software in 2006, as a Business Consultant. James’ versatility and experience have led him to hold many roles across his Varicent career including building out the Varicent Training organisation, being the first “boots on the ground” in Europe, and multiple sales roles from services to pre-sales and sales manager.

Outside of work, James is still true to his Canadian roots and enjoys playing Ice Hockey. He has played all over Europe including Latvia, Estonia, Serbia, Netherlands, and many others. Conversely, he has adapted well to his new British home, playing football (the proper stuff) and cricket – although the latter has been heavily reduced due to him spending time with his new son, Charles.

Curtis Schroeder is the Senior Director of Product Marketing at Varicent. He has nearly 15 years’ experience leading marketing and sales strategy at companies like Oracle and Gartner.

In his work, he is passionate about helping marketers and salespeople improve performance and find meaning in their work, which fuels his continued academic studies at Oklahoma State University. Curtis is a Ph.D. candidate and conducts research that explores ways that individual-level work values, skills, and relationship dynamics help frontline salespeople flourish.
