Fujitsu had been named ‘Worldwide Partner of the Year’ for a second consecutive year by digital workspace solution provider Citrix.
Fujitsu, a Citrix Global System Integrator for many years, was recognized for the many successful joint activities and business deals undertaken with Citrix over the last year to support customers’ digital workplace transformation.
The Fujitsu Work Life Shift initiative was a key driver in enabling Fujitsu to retain the Citrix award. Based on Fujitsu’s own five-year global workplace transformation, Fujitsu Work Life Shift enhances productivity by freeing people to focus on creating real value with no online or offline boundaries while being part of a new and resilient organizational culture.
Citrix has appointed Pilkku Aasma as its new Vice President of Partner Sales in the EMEA region.

Aasma joins Citrix after two decades in a wide range of multiple markets and leadership positions at Microsoft. Most recently she led the Small, Medium & Corporate Segment sales and marketing in Germany.
Prior to that she had direct responsibility for Microsoft’s 40,000 partners in Germany and held various sales and operations leadership roles in Western Europe, and Central & Eastern Europe.
