"Tradeshift, the company that turns invoicing between businesses into an online activity across a 'social network'-style platform, is set to announce some big hires today, part of a recruitment drive that has seen it take on almost 50 people in that past two months.\r\n\r\nMihir Nanavati, previously VP of product management at YouSendIt has joined as SVP of Product; Andy Huang, who previously worked in commerce business management and product quality management at Google is now VP of Global Strategy; Patrick Svenburg, who until last September was Microsoft's 'Director, Platform Strategy, Developer &amp;amp;amp; Platform Evangelism, Public Sector' (now that's a long job title), joins with the much shorter title of\u00A0VP of Strategic Business Development, while\u00A0Jovan Marjanovic, whose career includes stints at\u00A0Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems, SAP and Oracle, is now\u00A0SVP of Market Development.\r\n\r\nThese are all new positions within the company, which has raised a total of $24 million in venture funding over two rounds. It's announced some big client wins lately, including DHL and chemicals manufacturer DSM \u2013 not to mention a\u00A0&amp;quot;multi-million dollar&amp;quot; partnership that saw Tradeshift's platform integrated with Intuit's Quickbooks accounting software and some kind of undisclosed investment from Intuit into Tradeshift.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile,\u00A0a recent company blog post\u00A0hinted at &amp;quot;a\u00A0massive public sector organisation,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;a\u00A0leading, global apparel brand,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;a\u00A0global healthcare innovator dedicated to improving patient care,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;one of the most innovative global publishers&amp;quot; as all having signed up.\r\n\r\nFounded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009, Tradeshift now has offices in San Francisco and London too. Things certainly seem to be on the up for this company that is trying to drag a staid, dull business practice into the 21st Century. It's not alone though, last month saw the launch of Senddr, a Dublin-based rival."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
