Recent Funding Empowers Market Growth in Singapore and Australia
SilkRoad technology, inc., the leading provider of talent
management solutions, announced today that the firm has expanded
their global operations naming Peter Earnshaw Managing Director, Asia
and Nicholas Roi as Managing Director, Australia. In addition, the firm
is opening offices to support direct sales and marketing efforts in
Singapore and Sydney, Australia. SilkRoad announced a $54 million dollar
investment round earlier this year to build out operations that
capitalize on the increasing global market demand for talent management
solutions.
“I am pleased to announce that SilkRoad is
delivering on our promise to investors to expand our operations and
infrastructure to support our expanding client base worldwide," said
Andrew J. “Flip”
Filipowski, Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, SilkRoad
technology. "The addition of Peter Earnshaw and Nicholas Roi ensures
that our customers in the Asia Pacific region will receive outstanding
customer service and enjoy solutions that enable them to recruit and
retain the best talent."
With over ten years experience in technology and software, Earnshaw is
based in Singapore and will lead the overall sales and marketing efforts
for the Asia-Pacific region. Prior to joining SilkRoad technology, he
was the Asia Pacific Director for Vurv Technology, which he launched in
2005. During his tenure, he built Vurv’s
client base to include Singapore Airlines, HSBC, MGM Macau and Coca Cola
Amatil until it was sold to Taleo in 2008. His previous roles include
Business Development Manager for an Australian e-recruitment software
provider responsible for key clients such as AirNZ, Mallesons and
Woolworths.
Based in Sydney, Roi will lead the Australian sales and marketing
efforts. He brings a deep knowledge of enterprise software with
experience in the HR/Talent Management Software space gained during his
time at Vurv as the Australian sales director. Roi’s
team in Australia will report to Earnshaw, reprising the successful
partnership Roi and Earnshaw enjoyed at Vurv.
