Minneapolis, Minn. – August 24, 2016 – BLM Technologies, a proven single-source provider of information technology products and services to the financial, retail, and government industries, today announced the appointment of Debbie Schwake as the Vice President of Marketing – a newly created position and a key member of the BLM Technologies executive team.

An authority on modern marketing and brand strategy, Schwake will be responsible for building a solid marketing organization at BLM Technologies, designing and executing all marketing strategies in support of the company’s growth plan, communications, and branding. Debbie is a masterful modern marketing and brand strategist – and has been the driving force behind elevating well-known brands. She brings more than 12 years experience leading marketing organizations, most recently serving as the Vice President of Marketing, Manufacturing at KeyedIn Solutions. Before this, Debbie was instrumental in elevating the world-renowned aircraft brand, Cirrus Aircraft to industry leadership while she served as the Executive Director of Marketing.
