Tony was then promoted to Executive Vice President of Product where he led product management and product marketing for Nearmap. During this time, Nearmap released Nearmap 3D including the ability to visualize and export many forms of 3D imagery for use in third party products and directly within Nearmap’s flagship product, MapBrowser. Agresta was then asked to run US sales in January of 2020.

His core strengths and expertise are in sales, marketing, product management, product marketing, SaaS, sales engineering, sales enablement and technology marketing.
Prior to joining Nearmap, Agresta was the Vice President of Marketing at Market6 where he was responsible for developing educational content, managing sales tools and developing demand generation plans.
