Just as one new LEADOLOGIST™ gets settled into the team, following the recent arrival of Ruby, our Studio Project Manager, we now welcome another, and he’s a familiar face to some of us.
Filling the new role of Head of Product Development, Stuart Cross, has two decades of digital agency experience, and over that time been a Full-Stack developer, Head of Technology and Technical Director.
His primary emphasis at KOG is to oversee the development of unique digital tools for our online marketing specialists to allow them to provide enhanced insights to our clients.
Stuart also takes overall responsibility for streamlining our development processes, creating new reporting tools and client portals, and is looking to enhance our service offering through the use of Cloud technologies.
Over the last 20 years, he has worked on and headed up teams building numerous websites, mobile applications and software for national and international clients of all sizes.
He also specialises in using Cloud infrastructure to enable the construction of scalable and resilient platforms and applications, and is seasoned in connecting disparate technology platforms and writing technical briefs and functional specifications.
”“Myself and Stuart worked together for more than 10 years at a previous agency, so I know first-hand that his technical and business understanding is absolutely second-to-none.
“Using it, he has already begun developing innovative solutions, for the benefit of us and our clients, that we can’t wait to implement, which he’ll expertly orchestrate from concept to launch.”
Steven OrmandMD, is thrilled to get this key staff appointment over the line.
Stuart’s enthusiasm for beginning a new era in his career at a fast-expanding agency is evident:
”"After the vision for DigitalKOG was shared with me, I was excited to have the opportunity of being involved in bringing it to fruition.
“The team have all been friendly and welcoming, whilst also emphasising their focus on delivering results for our clients.
“It's clear why they've been so successful in a relatively short time. I look forward to being part of that continued success."
