DiffusionData Promotes for COO Role

Real-time data streaming and messaging solutions firm DiffusionData has promoted Neil Seymour, formerly Head of Engineering, to serve as its COO.

Formerly known as Push Technology, the company was founded in 2006 and has offices in London and Silicon Valley. Its Intelligent Data Framework, also known as Diffusion, pulls in large or small volumes of raw data, enhances it and distributes it across enterprises granting appropriate levels of access to different groups. Users in sectors such as financial services, eGaming, retail, travel and transportation, health and digital media are promised faster, data-driven application development, operating efficiencies and hyper-personalized data delivery. In September the firm appointed Scott Fink as Managing Director for the Americas.

Seymour (pictured) has more than 30 years' experience of system development, implementation, integration with project and programme delivery knowledge. He worked previously at Vizolution as Delivery Director and was a Professional Services Manager at Lexmark Enterprise Solutions. He comments: 'I am honoured to have this opportunity to take on the COO role and to be part of the continuing success of DiffusionData... The industries we align with are experiencing some volatility, but I am convinced we have a world class product and team that will help us achieve DiffusionData's strategic business goals'.

CEO Grethe Brown adds: 'Neil's promotion is of significant strategic value to us as we look to expand our senior team. Neil will have a focus on increasing our presence in financial services, building on our growth in the cloud and supporting our expansion into the Americas. The promotion is fully deserved and for a long time we have recognised his ability to build and manage multi-skilled teams to deliver a strong project focus and provide added value to new and existing customers'.
