Flowhaven, the industry’s leading Licensing Relationship Management platform (LRM), announced it has strengthened its U.S. sales team with new leadership hires. Adam Christensen has joined the company as U.S. Sales Director, and Chris Davlin and Rebecca Dennis as U.S. Sales Managers. These new additions will report directly to Jessica Trinca, U.S. General Manager.
The addition of these positions is the latest in a series of organizational developments to sustain the company’s accelerated growth. Flowhaven had a record-breaking first quarter in 2021 with a number of customer acquisitions across new verticals including universities, record labels and more. In the last year, Flowhaven raised $16M in funding led by Sapphire Sport, and more than doubled its team in Helsinki, Finland, Los Angeles and London. The company also has plans to open offices this year in New York, Berlin and Tokyo to support customers locally.
“Hiring the best and brightest leaders has always been core to our company’s success—and Adam, Chris, and Rebecca are the perfect example,” said Kalle Torma, Flowhaven. “Not only do they have proven expertise leading teams at companies like Electronic Arts, Disney, and Lucasfilm; they also embody Flowhaven’s values of collaboration, community and trust. Their contributions will be key for us as we continue to innovate and expand globally.”
Adam Christensen brings more than 15 years of sales and operations experience to Flowhaven. As U.S. Sales Director, he will be responsible for the company’s national sales strategy and execution. Most recently, he served as Director of Alliances and Partner Sales at Claravine, where he led the company’s strategic channel efforts. Previously, he was Senior Licensing Business Development Manager at Electronic Arts managing the company’s strategic brand licensing initiatives. There, Christensen closed seven-figure partnerships with household brands such as Walmart, Toys-R-Us, Barnes & Noble, GameStop, Target, Liverpool and many more. Previous roles included Disney Interactive, among others.
