Applies Pan European Telecommunications Strategy
Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe Limited, the leading supplier
of high performance telecommunications solutions, has announced
a major restructuring within its European telecommunications business.
The move is designed to create a truly Pan European business base
that is fully integrated with Fujitsu's global telecommunications
infrastructure. Changes have been made in three key areas:
- The appointment of Keith Gibson as Strategic Marketing Director
- The appointment of Phil Church as European Sales Director
- The creation of a new Corporate Planning Group under Nobukazu
Nagayama
Strategic Marketing
With over 15 years' experience in the communications and computing
industries, Keith Gibson's responsibilities involve focusing on developing
Fujitsu's Pan European infrastructure and strategic positioning. Previously
Director, Sales & Marketing, at Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe,
Keith will be working closely with other companies within the Fujitsu
Group to define and implement a co-ordinated Pan European strategy.
Keith has also recently been elected as a director of the West Midlands
regional CBI.
Sales Activity
Phil Church joins Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe as European Sales
Director, with responsibility for product sales, Commercial management,
and pre and post sales support. His remit will include the management
of all key UK accounts, including BT - and will also lead the European
sales team. With over 10 years' telecoms experience, including posts
with Cellnet, STC and GPT, Phil was latterly responsible for running
GPT's UK operators business - growing the turnover to over £200 million
per annum.
Corporate Planning
The appointment of Nobukazu Nagayama to head up the newly-created
Corporate Planning Group completes the restructuring picture. He will
have responsibility for budgetary planning and control within Fujitsu
Telecommunication Europe, reporting into the managing director, Shigeyuki
Unagami, and will also handle direct co-ordination with the parent
company, Fujitsu, Japan.
Currently employing over 1,100 staff around Europe, Fujitsu Telecommunications
Europe is a strategic division of Fujitsu Telecommunications of Japan
- currently one of the world's largest communications equipment suppliers.
Fujitsu's customer base includes wide-ranging contracts across the
breadth of modern telecommunications networks. Focused on providing
strategic end-to-end solutions, Fujitsu offers a complete turnkey
service - from project planning, community liaison, cable laying and
