MESSAGING SECURITY specialist Email Security has appointed Neil Rafferty, formerly of Easynet and Cisco, to take over the role of CEO from founder Neil Hammerton, who begins immediately in a new role as Chief Operating Officer.



The company says Rafferty is an industry heavyweight with a background in sales and marketing, and brings valuable experience in managed services to the business.

In addition to the overall management of the business, Neil's responsibilities as CEO of Email Systems will include spearheading the organisation's global expansion strategy, creating and implementing an international strategic marketing plan and overseeing the organisation's partner development programme.

Commenting on his appointment, Neil Rafferty said: "What is most interesting about this sector is that the market is still extremely open and consequently there is currently a unique opportunity for an incoming CEO to work with the existing management team to catapult Email Systems forward." "This will provide me with a considerable increase in the amount of time that I am able to spend in developing direct relationships with our partners, whilst taking a hands-on role in other creative business development activities," said Hammerton.
