Firm Economics, a management consultancy specialising in driving corporate value through technology, has appointed former Microsoft senior director Phil Hibberd as part of its company expansion strategy.
As a core part of his role, Hibberd will be closely involved with the sales management of Firm Economics’ own clients, both UK-based as well as the overseas clients wishing to increase their presence in the UK and European markets.
Hibberd has a long track record in technology sales and business development, having been responsible for establishing Tibco in Europe and business development responsibilities with the UK technology incubator Protg during the 1990s. He also has held senior positions with Microsoft, Reuters & Hewlett Packard.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to support Firm Economics growth plans,” Hibberd says. “Firm Economics is one of the few firms in the consulting market which really understands how companies can best exploit and grow the UK marketplace. In particular, Firm Economics skills in the financial services market are in great demand and these skills will continue to strengthen as the sector undergoes rapid growth and technological changes. I look forward to exciting developments over the coming years.”
