Resilient Networks plc Reorganise for Growth

LONDON, April 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Resilient Networks plc today announced a strengthening of the management team in response to a 40% growth in revenues and a 90% growth in backlog. The company is now strengthening its management team for the challenges of further growth and the responsibilities that go with providing critical services to a major part of the UK banking and defence sectors.

Andrew Bale has been promoted to CEO. Andrew has been with the company for 4 years as Chief Operating Officer and has built the foundations of the company's growing success. Andrew Bale said, "I am excited about leading Resilient Networks on to its next phase of growth. We have an excellent team in place to drive the business forward, maintaining our growth, and ensuring we provide world class services to our enterprise customers."

Dr. Antonio Filippi has been recruited as CFO. Antonio has a strong background in financial management as FD for European and American companies operating in software and cloud computing and where he was responsible for implementing many of the business processes and risk oversight that fast growing companies require. Antonio is President of CIMA central London branch.

Tim Jalland has been recruited as VP Product and Propositions. Building strong propositions is at the heart of the company's success. Tim joins from Airwave where he led a large team of product managers and developers responsible for delivering critical communications solutions to organisations that provide vital services to the public. Previous experience in product management and building high growth businesses with 3COM and GEC computers also provides Tim with vital skills to build the company's propositions into new markets.

Geoffrey Paterson, Chairman of Resilient Networks, said, "This reorganisation signals a new maturity and strength in our management team to meet our growing responsibilities to the large organisations in finance and defence we serve. Andrew has already demonstrated strong leadership and Antonio and Tim will bring important focus on extending our processes and robust risk management."
