Venzee Strengthens Sales Team to Support Accelerated Growth

Appoints Joel Carstedt as Senior Director of Sales

CHICAGO, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Venzee Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VENZ) (OTCQB: VENZF) ("Venzee" or the "Company"), the leading Artificial Intelligence Platform for Product Data, announced today that it is increasing investment in its sales department in preparation for growth acceleration.

Fortification of the Company's sales efforts demonstrates increased emphasis on going to market and establishing strong, strategic partnerships that will grow revenue streams. Venzee recently appointed Joel Carstedt as Senior Director of Sales to strengthen the Company's efforts to convert consumer brands and retailers into customers.

"We're attacking this opportunity head on, and my growing team and I are laser-focused to achieve goals and exceed expectations," said Mr. Carstedt. "That's all I've ever done in my career, and certainly what we plan on doing here at Venzee."

Mr. Carstedt has more than 14 years of experience in sales and technology, with five spent in the data synchronization software space as a Specialty Sales and Senior National Accounts Manager at Edgenet (acquired in 2019 by Venzee competitor Syndigo). While he was instrumental in Edgenet's revival from bankruptcy, he left to pursue other opportunities in software and digital dentistry where he continued to excel as a top performing, industry and team-leading sales professional. His decision to return to the product data space is seen as a massive win for Venzee and their customers.

"The size of the opportunity in this industry is unfathomable to think about sometimes," said Mr. Carstedt. "Almost every product or company in the world, and where that product is sold via retail or online sales channels, struggles with the exact problems that Venzee solves – how to quickly, accurately, and efficiently distribute product information that is tailored exactly how the sellers need it."
