Solidatus Hires Sales and Marketing Leaders

In London, data management tech firm Solidatus has hire Dave Northmore as VP of Sales, while Chris Crang joins in the newly created role of VP of Marketing.

Solidatus, which also has offices in the US and Singapore, connects and visualises data relationships, using technology which simplifies how data is identified, accessed and understood. Earlier this year, the firm raised £14m in a Series A round of funding, which it is using to accelerate expansion into new territories including the US, Europe and Asia; and to new industry verticals.

Northmore joins after eight years at big data applications specialist MarkLogic, where he served as Area VP. He previously held senior management roles at HP Software, Computer Associates and EMC Documentation, and will now focus on scaling the team as the business expands both domestically and overseas. Crang was previously Head of Corporate Marketing at Worldpay UK, where he established the marketing function for enterprise business; and earlier he served as Director of Customer Marketing and Strategy at American Express. He will now focus on developing and driving the Solidatus brand.

The two new hires will work in partnership, and report into co-founder Philip Dutton, who comments: 'These hires mark an inflection point in our evolution, as we continue to rapidly scale and expand into new territories following our most successful year to date. Attracting the talents of David and Chris reinforces our ambition and commitment to meet the on-going complex needs of clients, as the chosen data management tool for regulated and data-rich organisations'.
