Cathy Brown, Chief Information Officer

Cathy is probably the most qualified of all of us to talk about asset management. As chairperson of the UKCMG (UK Computer Measurement Group) she has been instrumental in not only understanding but also defining ITIL specifications and she brings all of this enormous knowledge to bear in her role with Ariel.

She is a senior manager who has worked in all aspects of the industry and knows what it takes to create a product that does the job.
