Joining the business with more than 30 years’ experience in the telecoms, IT and gaming technology sectors, Dave brings a wealth of leadership experience in technology-based businesses across the EMEA region and North America. His career history includes a previous stint at Thinventory as Chief Operating Officer.

Dave is also a former customer of Thinventory. While he was Chief Operating Officer of gaming technology business Inspired Entertainment Inc, he was an early adopter of Thinventory solutions and a customer for more than 10 years.

Dave said: “I am very pleased to be rejoining the Thinventory team and sharing my past experience in the successful deployment of technology-based products into global markets.

“Being a former customer of Thinventory I understand first-hand how beneficial its field service technology and smart locker solutions can be in revolutionising a company’s operations.

“I am excited to take on this new role as CEO as I see great growth potential in the company. Thinventory occupies a market-leading position in its sector and has a highly innovative service offering and impressive inventory management capabilities.

“I look forward to working with the Thinventory team to build on the strong foundations already in place and lead the company’s expansion into new markets.”

Former Thinventory Managing Director Mark Garritt remains involved in the business, having taken on the role of Senior Adviser to the Board. He will be focusing on supporting sales teams and customers and developing new markets and major accounts.
