Tom Cowling named as Vismo CEO
Chairman and Founder of Vismo, Tim Williams, commented: “Delighted to welcome Tom to the team.
“Tom’s arrival comes at an exciting time for us, as Vismo and the lone worker sector continue to expand rapidly both in the UK and the US, our key markets.
“Management in the private and public sectors and NGOs, are increasingly aware of the need to keep employees safe while travelling and working. Tom is well placed, alongside his team here at Vismo, to address their security concerns.”
Cowling is focused on expanding the customer base of the Vismo Locate & Protect App, which has more than 450,000 users.
“I’m very excited to have joined such a talented team, which has built a number of innovative products, all centred around the crucial purpose of keeping people safe at work,” he commented.
“An exciting space to be involved in”
Before joining EY, Tom worked in B2B environments in the UK and internationally, where he gained knowledge and experience in growing businesses through developing routes to market and expanding existing customer bases.
He added: “My experience at Ernst & Young in deal origination and the development of key strategic partnerships, has given me an excellent foundation for moving into the role of CEO at Vismo – and building new relationships with private and public sector organisations in the UK and North America.”
“Critical event management is an exciting space to be involved in and help develop.
“With its best-in-class event management admin platform for supporting clients and their employees in emergencies, Vismo is in a strong position to grow in breadth and depth to meet existing and emerging threats to employer organisations and their staff,” Cowling concluded.
