Sambit Mohapatra appointed Sales and Marketing Director to drive UK and European growth

Brightwave announces today that Sambit Mohapatra will join its Management Board as Director of Sales and Marketing on 4 April 2005. Previously Senior Vice President at Tata Interactive Systems for UK & Europe, Sambit joins Brightwave at a time of rapid growth and will lead the company's market presence in the UK and Europe.

As one of the fastest-growing e-learning service providers in the UK, Brightwave has developed over 200 projects for large organisations including BUPA, Microsoft, T-Mobile, BT and Procter & Gamble.

"Brightwave has the people, products and services to develop increasingly sophisticated integrated learning solutions for large organisations," said Sambit. "By incorporating an offshore capability we can provide the best of both worlds, combining Brightwave's innovative solutions with the resources and cost efficiencies to deliver large-scale business results. With a clear and differentiated strategy, I see Brightwave growing rapidly to become the market leader in the UK."

Charles Gould, Managing Director for Brightwave, added: "Sambit brings a highly impressive track record of building business in the UK and Europe and he will be driving sales to support our ambitious plans for growth and expansion of the products and services we offer."

Accompanying Sambit's appointment, Brightwave's Director of Learning Services, Lars Hyland, will focus on developing new and innovative learning and performance improvement services. He concluded: "We are now well positioned to expand our range of consulting services to ensure our clients gain significant business value from their investments in learning technology."
