Strategy
Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and
software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless
solutions for utility metering and lighting control today announces
that smart metering industry expert Geoff Sarney has been appointed
as VP Strategy.
Mr. Sarney joins Cyan from Telefonica/O2 where he was Head of
Smart Metering/Smart Architecture. In this role, he led
Telefonica's Smart Metering Implementation Program as well as
building partnerships through the Smart Architecture Alliance
Program. Mr. Sarney was a regular presenter at Smart Metering
events on behalf of Telefonica and is widely recognised as an
industry expert in this domain.
Prior to Telefonica, Mr. Sarney worked for a two year period in
China on strategy, clean energy and the smart grid (for China).
From 2001 to 2008, Mr. Sarney worked for Siemens, including
three years as Head of M&A, Strategy and Planning for Siemens
Energy Services, where he led the smart grid initiative on a global
basis.
"We are delighted that Geoff has accepted a senior management
position at Cyan" said John Cronin, Executive Chairman. "Geoff is a
recognised expert on smart metering and the smart grid on an
international basis. He has very broad experience in smart metering
and will be instrumental in building out Cyan's network of
partnerships. He has experience in China and can speak Mandarin,
and will thus also be a considerable asset to Cyan as we deepen our
commercial engagements in both lighting and metering in China. In
order to ensure that we were in a financial position to attract
such a qualified individual we have made adjustments to the
operational base of the company. The fact that an individual with
the pedigree and experience of Geoff decided to join Cyan at this
time speaks volumes about the quality of the Cyan mesh based
solutions as well as the commercial opportunities that lay
ahead."
Geoff Sarney commented, "I am excited to be joining Cyan at a
time when the long investment in the commercial opportunities in
India triggers a transformation in terms of customer, market and
shareholder perception. We will be building on this base to create
a world class, multi-national business at Cyan with a complete
service and software offering as well as a network of partnerships.
At the same time, I am looking forward to assisting Cyan with their
business development in China of both lighting and metering
solutions."
Geoff has done a number of presentations on smart grid such as
the one below.
