directors on the Board is expanded from three to four.
David Quantrell has more than 30 years of experience in senior
management roles across the software sector. He was Vice President
and General Manager, EMEA at Clarify, a global software company.
There, he helped build the business ahead of its sale to Nortel
Networks, where he then took the role of President EMEA of the fast
growing eBusiness division. In 2006, David was appointed Vice
President and General Manager, EMEA, HP Software, where he led the
integration of Mercury Interactive in EMEA, a business he had run
prior to its acquisition by HP and sat on the global software
management team. Following this role, David was appointed
President, EMEA at McAfee where he led a major European change
programme to re-establish organic growth. Most recently he was
Senior Vice President and a member of the global management team at
Box, a cloud storage company, where he helped to establish the
brand in Europe during a period where the Company experienced
dramatic growth and a successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange
('NYSE').
David is currently an adviser to a number of privately-owned and
venture-backed cloud software providers in both the United Kingdom
and United States.
Commenting on the appointment Roger Parry, Chairman of Oxford
Metrics, said:
"I am delighted to welcome David to the Oxford Metrics Board and
we look forward to working with him. This appointment further
strengthens our non-executive representation - David has
substantial experience in senior management roles at a variety of
global software companies. That experience will be invaluable to
Oxford Metrics as we look to continue to grow our SaaS customer
base and expand internationally."
Commenting on his appointment David Quantrell, said:
"This is an exciting time for Oxford Metrics. Yotta continues to
broaden its capabilities and market appeal and there is a clear
opportunity ahead to change the way nations manage their
infrastructure assets. Vicon is a leader in its field and with the
launch of IMU-Step - a SaaS product sold on subscription - there is
an opportunity to grow its base of recurring revenues. Having held
senior leadership roles at Box, HP Software and McAfee, I hope to
bring my experience to bear, as the Group continues to grow into an
international software business."
