Jim Duddy, VP Americas, Invenias, commented: “What attracted to me to the role at Invenias was the company’s mindset of continuous innovation – it’s always looking to strive forward, ensuring that its platform remains one step ahead of the competition. But perhaps most importantly it does all of this by collaborating with its customers. The Invenias platform solves real customer problems because that’s the company’s starting point. It’s a unique and refreshing approach that’s really resonating within the market place and is the cornerstone of our growth. My remit is to build on that good work and help take the company to the next stage.”
Duddy’s appointment comes after Invenias recently announced a further $2.8 million in funding to be invested in the company’s infrastructure, scaling its core platform and supporting aggressive growth within the US market.
David Grundy, CEO, Invenias, said: “Jim’s appointment underlines how serious we are about growing Invenias across the Americas. We see a massive opportunity for our platform within the region and Jim has the skills, focus and energy to help us realise our vision. His track record in being able to bring together people, technology, market knowledge and best practices means that in all his previous roles he’s been able to make a significant, positive impact on company performance. Without question I believe he has all the attributes to help Invenias sustain its rapid growth in the US and Canada.”
