Callcredit Information Group has appointed Chris Green as chief commercial officer to manage the Group’s go-to-market functions and drive revenue for the UK and international businesses.
Formerly chief operating officer (COO), commercial solutions at BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, Chris will be taking over from UK managing director Graham Lund who is taking up a new advisory role.
Effective immediately Chris will be accountable for the Group’s go-to-market functions which include sales and market strategy. He will ultimately be responsible for customer retention, growth and client satisfaction, as well as the overall revenue and contribution plan for the UK and international businesses. Chris will be supporting CEO, Mike Gordon, in creation and delivery of the strategic plan to deliver revenue growth, service and margin contribution across all Callcredit’s lines of business.
Commenting on the appointment Mike Gordon, CEO, Callcredit Information Group said: “We are very pleased that Chris is joining the team at Callcredit. He is a trusted leader who consistently delivers results with a clear focus on both operational and commercial excellence.
“His experience in complex, large-scale data exploitation programmes, technology consulting, and strategic business development gives me tremendous confidence in his ability to align Callcredit’s innovative solutions with industry-leading operational practices to drive and extend the future of Callcredit's market leadership.”
Chris said: “Callcredit has an impressive growth record, an enviable reputation with its customers, and an exceptional senior team. I'm delighted with the opportunity to join and contribute to its success in this next chapter.”
Prior to joining Callcredit Chris spent 16 years in various roles at BAE Systems Applied Intelligence (formerly Detica). In his role before becoming COO at BAE, Chris was managing director of Detica Netreveal where he was responsible for the global exploitation of its software solutions to tackle fraud and non-compliance in banks, insurance businesses and tax departments, and enable intelligence-led crime disruption. Graham has been with the business for 16 years in a number of significant roles and has played an integral part in its growth and was instrumental in the management buy out to GTCR in February 2014.
Mike continued: “Over the years Graham has spearheaded the successful rollout of the company’s affordability initiative, the acquisition of Legatio, and the launch of Callcredit’s CallValidate suite of trust and ID products in both the commercial and consumer markets.
“I wish to personally thank Graham for playing a key role in the success of Callcredit and where the business is today and look forward to working with him as we continue to grow the business.”
