IPC appoints new directors for Technology and Operations

International Post Corporation (IPC) has announced the departure of Alan Barrie, IPC Director, Operations and Technology, and the appointment of Carolyn Brown starting today (3 July) as IPC’s new Director, Technology. IPC said that the split of the Operations and Technology Department into two departments reflects the growing importance of IT and data systems, which underpin the cross-border e-commerce solutions that IPC is developing.

Holger Winklbauer, CEO of IPC said: “On behalf of the entire IPC membership, I would like to thank Alan Barrie for his huge contribution to IPC’s development during the past six years. He moved INTERCONNECT from a concept to an operational system built on a powerful data system that is now being deployed.

“We are pleased to welcome Dr Carolyn Brown starting today as IPC’s new Director, Technology. She will play an important role in overseeing the IT developments and ensuring the use of the INTERCONNECT platform by posts to full capacity.”

On 19 June, David Spottiswood has been appointed IPC Interim Director Operations until the recruitment of a Director Operations will be effective.
