SpatialBuzz, a cloud-based customer experience analytics and service monitoring specialist, today announced the appointment of new Chief Executive Officer Peter Young. Peter joins the SpatialBuzz team following a two year position as Head of Technology at Nokia, an international leader in communications and information technology.

On his new role as CEO, Young commented, “I am absolutely delighted to be joining SpatialBuzz. It is a real privilege to work with such an innovative and dynamic team, who are helping operators improve their customers’ experience. The right CEM tools are becoming increasingly critical for the telecoms industry and it is very exciting to be able to work with our customers and team to drive the company forward, building on a really strong portfolio of unique, relationship enhancing products.”
