CLARITY APPOINTS WILLIAM TICKNER AS VICE PRESIDENT, EUROPE & CIS
Sydney, 1 May 2007 –- Clarity, the telecommunications
industry’s Operational Support System (OSS) business process automation company,
today announced the appointment of William Tickner as Vice President, Europe &
CIS. William will focus on strengthening Clarity's strategic partnerships and
business development activities to drive growth in these regions.
William brings to Clarity more than twenty years of sales, marketing and
business management experience from the communications industry, with a strong
track record in revenue growth and regional operational expansion. Prior to
joining Clarity, William was with start-up information management vendor
Datanomic as VP Sales & Marketing. Previous organisations also include Cognima,
Convergys, Geneva Technology, CableData, IBM and Infotron.
During his tenure as VP Business Development at Geneva Technology, he helped
grow the European business from 100 to 450 employees and to more than
50 customers before the business was acquired by Convergys in 2001. During his
time at Geneva, William also led the company's successful entry into Asia
Pacific where the team he built managed to deliver several major account wins
within months of its regional launch.
"We are pleased to have William join Clarity to further strengthen our
presence in Europe and the CIS markets, particularly Russia," says Dr. Ian
Campbell, Clarity's Executive Chairman. "William has a strong track record
within business and marketing management and solid communications industry
experience in European markets, particularly East Europe where he will focus our
efferots initially. As regional operators transform their OSS infrastructures to
cope with increased competition and significant cost pressures, William's client
and partner management skills will be extremely important to Clarity's long term
success."
Throughout Europe and the CIS telecommunications operators are seeking to
consolidate disparate OSS infrastructures to offer superior customer service,
reduce costs and differentiate their commercial propositions through speed of
response and service quality management. Tickner said "These complex and long
term transformation programmes require an experienced Tier 1 OSS vendor capable
of supporting automation across convergent fulfillment and assurance processes
to realise operators' goals. Clarity has a solid track record of creating
business value in this domain and it is a great opportunity to build on this
success."
