Tribold Appoints New Senior Executive To Drive Sales
Tribold Limited, a provider of Product Portfolio Management (PPM) applications software for the communications provider market, announced the appointment of Richard Gibbs to its management team as Sales Consulting Director. Tribold is experiencing significant demand from communications providers wanting to reduce time to market for their products and ensure they are better targeted at customers.
Mr Gibbs, 36, joins Tribold from Epiphany, where he held the role of Chief Technology Officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). During his time at Epiphany he helped to design and deliver its Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and products. He was previously Sales Consulting Director for the same company, and before that spent more than four years in various senior managerial roles at Siebel Systems and spent a decade in sales and project management roles for other Customer Relationship Management (CRM) companies.
"Tribold is fast gaining traction amongst communication providers that need to deliver products more efficiently, so that they are offered to the right customers at the right time," said Simon Muderack, CEO of Tribold. "Richard Gibbs is a seasoned sales executive with exemplary expertise in business solutions and technology that enhance product lifecycles. His energy and knowledge will be vital as Tribold looks to build on its early lead in this new market."
In parallel to Richard's appointment Tribold has also elevated Jonathan Anstey to Worldwide Sales Director from his previous role as EMEA Sales Director. He will oversee Tribold's increasing demand for solutions from international communications providers, in particular in North America and Australasia.
In September 2005, the company launched Tribold Product Portfolio Manager Release 2.1, an enterprise software application that gives communications providers enhanced central management of the enterprise's product portfolio data throughout the product lifecycle. Tribold PPM Release 2.1 consolidates the product management process into a single, automated, error-resilient stream .
Tribold's Product Portfolio Manager manages the key elements of product launch: design, build, launch, in-life management, retirement and analysis. Deploying Tribold technology reduces time to market, increases customer retention, enables effective management, improves competitive edge and drives revenues.
Tribold's PLM/PDM solutions enable communications providers worldwide to put product propositions at the heart of their business. Tribold does this by enabling communications providers to take products to market faster, by improving customer service through self-selection and by enhancing operational efficiency. Tribold's closed-loop solutions give communications providers a full 360° view of their products.
