Ziyen appoints Greg Simpson to lead Scottish Software Division
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ziyen Inc., a Scottish-American software and energy company, appoints Greg Simpson as Head of Business Development for Ziyen UK’s new branch office in Aberdeen Scotland.
Greg is responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive internal and external sales and marketing operational plan with a goal to increase revenues and profits.
Greg has over 5 years’ experience working with a leading UK e-procurement company, assisting to develop and sell their business intelligence services and he already has a proven track record in setting up external Business Development teams, having developed a successful remote sales operation in the business district in London.
Greg graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 2011 with a 1st Class Hons Degree covering a combination of Physiology and Psychology.
Greg is joined by Cameron Murray in the Business Development team with the appointment of Ron Caithness as the Ziyen UK General Manager to oversee operations.
Greg Simpson said,
“Setting up the Aberdeen office provides the ideal platform to develop the software division of the company, Ziyen Intelligence. We will be working closely with our chosen development partner to deliver our Ziyen IQ APP to market in early 2018, whilst enhancing our existing procurement portals in the meantime. The development of these products is crucial to our growth strategy and will help deliver value to our shareholders.”
Founded in 2016 in San Diego, California by Scot, Alastair Caithness, Ziyen Inc. operates two divisions, Ziyen Intelligence and Ziyen Energy. Ziyen Inc. has just been qualified by the SEC for our second round of funding at a share price of $1.50, and is targeting an IPO in 2018.
Alastair Caithness, CEO, said:
”We see enormous potential for our service offering in the UK, particularly around new technology. The Aberdeen office gives us fantastic platform for growth, both in Scotland and Internationally. Having worked with Greg and Cameron in the past, I know we have brought on board two exceptionally focused individuals who we feel at Ziyen will drive the software business forward to make it a big success. Bringing Ron Caithness out of retirement is also a master stroke on my behalf, as he is not only my dad but the smartest businessman I know.”
