Commsworld, one of the UK’s largest independent network providers, has moved to strengthen its senior leadership team with the appointment of Melony Buchanan to the new role of Chief Revenue Officer.

Buchanan will lead the Edinburgh-headquartered company’s revenue strategy, with a clear focus on geographical, proposition and partnership expansion as part of a UK-wide growth roadmap. This roadmap will be centred around the continued evolution of the company’s portfolio to meet the changing needs of its customers in both the public and private sectors.

With more than 30 years of industry experience, Mel’s previous management positions range from Regional Sales Director to Managing Director of complex IT businesses.

Most recently at Capita, as Client Partner for Local and Regional Partnerships, she led strategy and delivery across its public sector portfolio, having previously overseen the highly-successful Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN) as Managing Director.
