Tech leader appointed for ‘digital club’
A venture that aims to close companies’ digital skills gaps has appointed a “club executive” after pushing the button on a new Glasgow operation.
AND Digital has named Peter Dale as club executive for the recently launched west coast branch. It is the second operation to be rolled out in Scotland and follows on from the rapid expansion of the firm’s initial base in Edinburgh, which opened in March 2020.
The tech company aims to accelerate digital delivery for its clients by helping them close their digital skills gaps through its “club model” approach.
Dale’s responsibilities will be to set up and lead the Glasgow club by building a 100-strong team of product analysts, software developers and designers over the next 12 months. The venture will work with a range of clients across financial services, media and leisure. Dale is said to bring a “wealth of experience” having been a senior tech professional for companies such as CGI, Clydesdale Bank, Airpoint and Sword Ciboodle.
Paramjit Uppal, chief executive and founder of AND Digital,
said: “We believe it takes more than tech or data alone to win. Technology and digital services don’t build themselves: it takes the right people, set up in the right environment, to deliver, manage and continuously improve it.
“That’s why we’re delighted to welcome Peter as the club executive of our new Glasgow club. He brings a blend of enterprise and agile experience, coupled with a strong understanding of tech and product, and of building high performing teams.”
Dale added: “I’m really looking forward to joining AND Digital.”
