Creative ITC appoints trio to boost global service growth
Creative ITC has announced the appointment of three new senior leaders as it pursues further growth following last year's private equity investment from LDC.
Dave Adamson has joined Creative ITC in the role of Solutions Director. He brings with him a background in shaping go-to-market strategies for technology services and managing high-performing pre-sales and technical account management teams. Adamson's appointment aims to enhance the company's ability to combine customer focus with technical proficiency as Creative ITC continues to broaden its global cloud services operation.
The technical services team will also be strengthened with the arrival of Kelvin Claridge, who will serve as Head of Service Operations. Claridge is tasked with leading operational reforms within the organisation, focusing on improvements in service onboarding and delivery. His responsibilities include driving innovation to optimise global support functions as the business scales up its activities.
Meanwhile, Gary Clarke takes on the newly established position of Head of Security. In this role, Clarke will be charged with expanding Creative ITC's security capabilities and governance functions. He will be responsible for overseeing the company's technical security strategy, as well as governance, risk and compliance initiatives. Clarke is also expected to play a central role as an expert point of contact for client security queries.
