Crossword Cybersecurity Plc has significantly strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of a Group Sales Director and a new Chair of its consulting subsidiary to assist in driving growth during 2020. Sean Arrowsmith joins as Crossword's first Group Sales Director in January, responsible for both product and consulting sales activity. Sean will lead and grow the sales team.

Sean comes with 20 years of sales experience in cyber/information security and technology. He was previously Group Sales Director at IRM Ltd.
