Software experts strengthen leadership team
COMET - UK-based specialists in investigation and assurance software – have appointed Paul Hastings as head of software sales.
Joining the company from Ideagen, Paul brings over 30 years of experience in quality and incident management, along with a decade of consultancy and sales expertise across a wide range of industries.
