Former KCOM exec Afshin Attari has joined Exponential-e as Director of Public Sector. The posting follows a near-ten year stint at KCOM where he was latterly responsible for developing, implementing and leading the client management strategy across enterprise and public sector markets.
Prior to KCOM he spent five years at O2 working as Head of Business Development and Head of Service and Sales.
Attari said: "There is a huge demand for cloud services within government departments as they look to reduce costs by using application solutions and services, rather than the oversized technology contracts of yesteryear. There is also an expectation that organisations must be able to provide support and hold data within the UK and Exponential-e ticks both these boxes."
Lee Wade, CEO of Exponential-e, added: "Afshin has an impressive track record working for some world-class companies and his skills and experience will prove invaluable to the entire company.
"The UK public sector is filled with opportunity for innovative companies like us, so the next couple of years will be crucial to further advancing our growth in this space. Afshin is the right person to lead this charge."
