Both joining Solidatus in newly created roles, is David Northmore as vice president of sales, and Chris Crang as vice president of marketing.

David Northmore joins in the new role of vice president of sales, following eight years as area VP at MarkLogic. David’s extensive experience spans 25 years in the data industry, having held senior management roles at HP Software, Computer Associates and EMC Documentum. His role at Solidatus will focus on developing new processes and scaling the team as the business expands both domestically and overseas, while maintaining its established reputation for fuelling positive client outcomes. 

Chris Crang joins in a similarly newly created role as vice president of marketing. He will be focusing on developing and driving the Solidatus brand as the go-to provider of data management solutions. Chris previously held roles as the head of corporate marketing at Worldpay UK, where he established their marketing function for enterprise business and saw the company through to IPO. Chris has also served as director of customer marketing and strategy at American Express and held management and leadership roles for over 15 years in both UK and multinational organisations.

Both roles will work in partnership, and report into Solidatus’ co-founder, Philip Dutton. The new senior hires follow a landmark year for Solidatus, following its successful Series A funding round and a 400% growth in employees.

Philip Dutton, co-founder of Solidatus, says, “Attracting the talents of David and Chris reinforces our ambition and commitment to meet the on-going complex needs of clients, as the chosen data management tool for regulated and data-rich organisations. David and Chris both have a firm belief in the transformative difference we can make for our clients, and their combined exceptional expertise make them the perfect fit to drive Solidatus into the next phases of our journey.”
