Meanwhile, Steven Cox has been announced as Executive Director for the Public Sector. Cox has been leading some of Fujitsu’s largest customer accounts such as HMRC over the past few years. This appointment will allow Cox to enhance the shape and strategy of the company’s substantial Public Sector business.

In addition, Tim Gibson, Executive Director, Defence & National Security (D&NS) has been appointed to the UK & Ireland Executive Team. This promotion is in recognition of the importance of Defence and National Security business for Fujitsu in the coming financial year.

Simon Carter will continue to lead marketing activity in the UK & Ireland, in a position that is now elevated to the Executive Team, in recognition of the role that Marketing will play in Fujitsu’s approach to the market moving forward. In this position, he will report jointly to Claus-Peter Unterberger, Vice Group Head, Global Marketing Group, Fujitsu; and the Head of Fujitsu UK & Ireland, Duncan Tait, as part of Fujitsu’s global matrix structure.

Duncan Tait, Head of Fujitsu UK & Ireland, added: “The UK & Ireland is a core market for Fujitsu and as such we are dedicated to ensuring its growth is sustained over the coming financial year. These new appointments reflect both the achievements of the individuals in their time at Fujitsu, as well as a recognition of the continuing evolution of the global ICT market, and our intent to be at the forefront of that change.”
