Directorbank successfully completes the search for a CEO for Brainstorm Mobile Solutions.
Brainstorm is an innovative provider of mobile engagement solutions that help businesses to increase revenue, reach and operational efficiency. It was founded 30 years ago and provides services for clients in 27 countries communicating with over 650m people on behalf of some 100 brands.
Directorbank was recently approached by Shane Leahy, Chairman of Brainstorm, to source a proven CEO to increase growth and efficiencies across the business. The ideal candidate needed a strong commercial background in software and services as well as an established track record of significantly growing a Tech SME and leading a successful sale process.
A comprehensive search exercise was completed within a 3 week timeframe and a 6-strong candidate shortlist was delivered to Shane. Jeremy Deaner was successfully appointed to the position.
Jeremy is an entrepreneurial CEO with 30 years’ experience in developing teams and building businesses in the international technology sector.
Previously he was CEO of AmberFin, a leading vendor of content re-purposing software for the global film and broadcast market. During his tenure, he significantly grew the business across the USA, EMEA and APAX and the firm’s revenue grew by over 250%. High profile customer wins included Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, BBC and Disney. Last year he managed the successful sale of the business to Dalet.
Shane Leahy comments:
“I was impressed with Directorbanks efficient approach and deep knowledge of the TMT sector, giving rise to some exceptional CEO candidates. I’m delighted with our appointment of Jeremy who brings a powerful combination of technical understanding and business experience in the international arena. He is the right person to take this already successful company to new levels and grow new international markets throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas.”
