New CEO Doust the “right man” for Blackbay
Blackbay has announced the appointment of Nigel Doust as its new CEO. Company chairman Avi Azulai described Doust as the “right person to propel Blackbay forward into a market leading position”.
Doust will take up his position as Blackbay’s CEO in early September and joins the company fresh from his position as vice president at Sybase where he managed and led the Sybase enterprise mobility business in Europe.
Previously, Doust was vice president Europe for mobile specialist Pointsec where he drove significant market growth. Doust also served as vice president World Wide Mobility for Extended Systems, another mobility specialist software company. Again he grew the global business and was instrumental in the sale of Extended Systems to Sybase.
“Nigel brings with him extensive experience of enterprise mobility solutions and strong relationships within the market,” continued Azulai. “Importantly for us, Nigel has already displayed outstanding leadership qualities, combined with the ability to continually strengthen and enhance relationships with existing customers and drive revenue from new customers, and new markets.”
“My position at Blackbay provides me with a fantastic opportunity to take a fast growing company to the top of its market,” explained Doust. “Initially, my focus will be on continuing Blackbay’s commitment to deliver market leading levels of service and support to our existing customers, driving sales, and expanding the company’s operations within the North American enterprise mobility solutions space.”
Doust also plans to work closely with Blackbay’s R&D team to drive investment to further increase the features and functionality of the company’s field service, postal and transport and logistics solutions. “It is increasingly important that Blackbay is able to deliver innovative, highly scalable and integrated solutions which support the needs of our current customers and those of new customers, across multiple platforms,” added Doust.
“With Nigel at the helm, Blackbay will be in the best possible position to grow our enterprise mobility solutions market share and to exceed our revenue expectations,” concluded Azulai.
