FARNET MEMBER
ABOUT
Built from both sides.
An AR-as-a-Service practice focused on the Asia Pacific and Japan region. MagnifIQ provides fractional AR programme leadership to technology vendors that need senior-level strategy and execution — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.Engagements span analyst landscape mapping, briefing and inquiry strategy, evaluation cycle positioning, contract negotiation, and executive engagement preparation. The practice is built for APJ — where regional fluency, local analyst relationships, and an understanding of how market dynamics differ across ASEAN, ANZ, India, Japan, and Korea is not optional.
What he brings is symmetry. He knows how analysts read vendors because he's been the analyst reading them.
Jens leads MagnifIQ and partners with KCG through FARNet.
