New structure and Expansion at CCS Insight

12 November 2007

Since Ben Wood joined CCS Insight in 2006 the company has continued its growth at an extremely aggressive pace. The focus of the business has been on all aspects of global wireless communications, catering for the requirement of its client base to have instant and first class analysis of events and trends. The market is huge and CCS Insight is currently delivering research and analysis across many and varied topics associated with the mobile and wireless sector. To support this work more comprehensively the company has decided to create two separate business areas at CCS Insight to give more focus to our output. These are Devices and Operator Strategy, Applications and Content. To ensure that CCS Insight continues to provide its clients with the best possible information we have appointed two lead analysts to represent these areas. CCS Insight is pleased to announce that Geoff Blaber has been promoted to Director of Devices, reporting directly to Ben Wood. Geoff joined us earlier this year and has proved to be a most valuable asset to CCS Insight and deserves this promotion. CCS Insight decided to recruit externally for its next appointment, wishing to bring in a high level of expertise to supplement the existing research team. The company has recruited Paolo Pescatore as Director of Operator Strategy, Applications and Content. Paolo joins us from IDC where his reputation in this area of our industry is first rate. He will also report to Ben Wood. In addition to these appointments CCS Insight continues to strengthen our team of researchers who compile much of the primary and secondary research we use. To this end we have a growing number of analysts working for us both in Europe but also as part of a rapidly expanding outsourcing partnership in the Far East.
