Ubisense appoints seasoned Non-Executive to Board of Directors

Cambridge, UK – Ubisense, the world’s leading provider of precise real-time location solutions, has appointed a new Non-Executive Board Director.

Working alongside the Ubisense executive management team, Paul will contribute to the company’s overall strategy, scrutinising its performance and providing independent views on a range of commercial matters including growth, finance and resourcing.

At AVEVA, Paul held a number of roles and was Group Finance Director for ten years – a position that gave him a unique insight into the demands placed on global technology providers facing rapid and prolonged periods of growth. This knowledge will be invaluable in his new post at Ubisense.
