In addition, someone who has excelled in leading a national operating company, while understanding the needs of the broader European and Global business.”
Beamery appointment
Beamery: Gavin Patterson has been appointed lead independent director at the AI talent management platform. His name might be familiar because he had stints as president and CRO at Salesforce and CEO of BT.

“We now have unfinished business to take care of in the Americas. We have some amazing customers in North America, and with Matt on board, I am very excited to see how much we will be able to scale. There seems to be a real appetite in the US marketplace for a high-quality player that wants to look after its customers.”
