ALTIA-ABM, a UK-based international group specialising in investigation and covert management software, has announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer.
Rob Sinclair has been promoted from his position of chief operating officer to become CEO of the group, which develops software used by law enforcement organisations, tax authorities and government agencies in the UK and across the world.
Rob succeeds Ian Watson, co-founder of the company and current CEO since 2013, who will remain on the board as a non-executive director and strategic adviser.
John Boyle, chairman of Altia-ABM, said: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Rob who has been at the heart of the company’s growth in recent years. It has been part of our long-term plan for him to take the reins and drive the business forward.
“The recent performance of the group has been hugely encouraging and we are well-equipped to build on this success. As a co-founder of the group, Ian Watson deserves every tribute for taking the company to this stage.”
Rob said: “Altia-ABM is unique in my view in that the client base we have built around the world is of the highest pedigree. The organisations we work with rightly see trust as being of paramount importance. Having secured strong relationships with our customers worldwide, the company has made great strides through growth and acquisition and I am looking forward immensely to taking the group forward on this basis.”
Altia-ABM has recently expanded its sales and support office in Melbourne, Australia, and its operations in Canada, Colombia and Peru.
