Senior executives with a proven track record in information technology information intelligence
Nigel Rzemieniecki, Chief Executive OfficerNigel specialises in the combined disciplines of sales and marketing and uses his skills to drive strong sales growth through clear identification of the market opportunity and the development of compelling solutions and propositions that address specific customer needs. He has a proven track record of converting business strategy into tactical implementation plans that deliver rapid revenue and profit growth plus long term, sustainable customer relationships.
15 years ago he was involved in a start up organisation (Post Software International) and within 3 years had created the recognised industry leader in retail systems. By achieving strong market penetration with Tier 1 customers, he engineered a sale to ICL (Fujitsu Systems). In 1998 he was responsible for integrating Post Software International into ICL and in his role of Managing Director of the ICL Retail Division for 4 years he grew annual revenue to £250 million and developed strategic relationships with all the Tier 1 Retailers including Marks and Spencer, Tesco, Sainsbury's and WH Smith. ICL became the largest supplier of retail systems and IT services to the retail industry.
In 2001, he was asked by the Fujitsu main Board to lead a new business pursuit team and drive a competitive sales campaign with McDonald's. This was a 'must win' customer for Fujitsu as it would drive their global services business in over 100 countries. After a 9 month sales campaign a global services contract was awarded to the value $750million. This remains Fujitsu's largest Managed Service contract.
Prior to forming Remote Energy Monitoring Nigel developed his own business to market high value IT solutions to Tier 1 Financial Services customers and to provide sales consultancy to leading IT services providers.
