UK, 26 Jul 05 - Cognima, the effortless mobile imaging company, today announced it has appointed Dean Wood as VP Sales. Before joining Cognima Dean was Director of Mobile and Devices at Macromedia EMEA.
Dean has spent the last 10 years of his career in the fixed, web and wireless communications sector, always working at the forefront of innovative new services and products. At Macromedia, Dean successfully secured the first European mobile operator and global handset manufacturer deals for the mobile and devices division.
‘Dean brings to Cognima a wealth of sales experience in the mobile sector,’ said Mark Bole, CEO of Cognima. ‘Dean’s role is to build on Cognima's current commercial traction so the company can seize a global leadership position within the Mobile Imaging industry’.
280M camera-phones are forecast to be sold in 2005 with newer camera-phones having multi-megapixel resolution. These devices will account for the vast majority of digital images captured, but most of these photos remain stuck on the phone. Cognima enables camera-phone users to upload their photos and video clips effortlessly into online albums from where they can be shared and printed. This unlocks the phenomenal potential of camera-phones and enables Mobile Imaging industry players to create significant revenues from this market.
