Quartix Ltd. announces two senior appointments
Quartix Ltd., one of Europe's leading suppliers of telematics
systems and services, is pleased to announce the appointment of two
directors to its board; Richard Finlow as Group Commercial Director
and Laura Seffino as Technical Director. Quartix Ltd. is the main
operating business of Quartix Holdings plc.
Richard Finlow, Group Commercial Director, joined Quartix on
8(th) April having moved back to the UK from Bradford Pennsylvania,
where he held the position of Senior Vice President, Global Sales
and Marketing for Zippo Manufacturing Company since January 2016.
Richard joined Zippo in 2010 as Sales Director, Europe, Middle East
and Africa, and was subsequently promoted to the role of Managing
Director, Europe, in 2013, prior to his promotion and transfer to
the USA. In his most recent position, he held responsibility for
all global Sales and Marketing across 180 markets.
Richard began his sales and marketing career with Gillette as a
senior brand manager, spending 6 years across various product
categories in the early 1990s. Subsequent to that he spent a
similar time with Suntory Group as Regional Director, Latin America
and the Caribbean focused on market development and channel
management.
Richard is a fluent Spanish speaker, holds a master's degree in
Business Administration and is a member of the Institute of
Directors. He is based at Quartix's Newtown offices in Powys.
Laura Seffino, Technical Director was appointed to the board of
Quartix Ltd in February 2019, having joined as Head of Software in
June 2018. Prior to joining Quartix Laura spent 17 years in
software development, project management and delivery roles at
1Spatial plc, Cambridge. She joined 1Spatial as a software engineer
and was promoted to the position of Development Manager in 2015,
following which she was again promoted in 2017 to the role of Head
of Software Delivery.
Laura has brought significant experience to Quartix introducing
agile methodologies, continuous integration and continuous
delivery, alongside her extensive knowledge of a broad range of
technology stacks. Since joining Quartix, Laura launched the most
significant Quartix software update and redesign in late 2018,
which included localisation of the software for Polish and Spanish
markets.
Laura has bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science
from the Universidad Nacional del Sur in Argentina and the State
University of Campinas, Brazil, respectively. Spanish is her mother
tongue.
Laura's promotion follows a planned handover of responsibilities
from Bill Hibbert, who informed the company of his retirement plans
in early 2018 following 10 years of service at the company. Bill
Hibbert remains a significant shareholder and will continue working
with Quartix on a range of projects for our core fleet tracking
business.
Andy Walters, Chief Executive Officer, Quartix, commented: "I am
delighted to welcome Richard and Laura to our management team. They
both bring management skills and international experience to the
company which will be of immense importance for the development of
our business in the coming years. I would also like to take the
opportunity to thank Bill Hibbert for his outstanding service to
Quartix over the past 10 years, for his continuing support of the
business"
