Iain will also join the Node4 Board, with responsibility for identifying additional routes to market and enhancing the company’s proposition to maximise growth opportunities presented by its acquisition strategy.
Iain brings over 20 years’ experience leading business units, business development and sales initiatives in communications and cloud services organisations both in the UK and international markets. This includes a wealth of experience working with customers in channel, public sector and enterprise markets.

His recent experience includes working as Managing Director for Nasstar, where he was responsible for its Communication Services business unit, overseeing the integration of all go-to-market activities.
