Steve Swift (former Vice President of PeopleSoft Europe) and Peter Jenkins (former Sales Director of PeopleSoft UK) have joined the management team at Crocus. Steve and Peter have been independent management consultants as directors of NewGen Associates for the past 10 years since their time at PeopleSoft.
Steve and Peter are charged with developing the commercial strategy of the business and advising the directors through a period of sustained growth for the business. The roles also include a “hands on” approach to the development of relationships with Oracle and the PeopleSoft customer base.
Chris Smith Managing Director of Crocus added; "Steve Swift and Peter Jenkins bring with them considerable experience of our market and have a proven track record, as NewGen, in taking organisations forward to the next stage of growth. We are delighted to welcome them to the board.”
For his part, Jenkins welcomed these comments adding, “We’re delighted to be involved with a very successful company focussed on the delivery of effective Oracle PeopleSoft and BI solutions. They have an excellent reputation built upon a prolonged track record of delivering top-flight support and client care. As part of the team we look forward to adding to this successful formula and driving growth further.”
Swift echoes Jenkins comments and believes that the Non-Executive appointments are a natural development for Crocus noting, “These guys were the very first consultants I appointed by PeopleSoft as European Vice-President. From that point forwards they have lead the way and enjoyed unrivalled success. Peter and I are delighted to have been appointed to the team and look forward to helping the success continue at this time of expansion.”
