ABERDEEN-based Xergy Group has appointed a new business development director.
Scott Michie, who played for Aberdeen Football Club between 1999 and 2004, will be responsible for the strategic planning and delivery of sales across the UK
Mr Michie joins after almost 10 years of working in the oil and gas market, most recently as sales manager for NOV Wellsite Services.
During that time, he helped boost profits and oversaw the awarding of several large contracts. Mr Michie also played a key role in helping the company enter new markets across the globe.
He said: “I’ve been working within the oil and gas industry for almost a decade, initially as an engineer and then more recently moving into sales roles. I’m at my best, when I’m hands on, in fast moving, pressurised environments.
“There’s nothing more exciting than an entrepreneurial tech company – and with the changes to the world that we’ve all been experiencing in recent months, there’s no better time to be selling Proteus.”
Proteus, which was launched at the start of summer, is a cloud-based work management system that allows companies to find the right people for projects as and when they are needed.
Colin Manson, founder and chief executive, said: “With market demand for this kind of digital platform increasing, we’ve accelerated our recruitment plans and have now brought together a strong team of knowledgeable experts with diverse experience who share our passion for Proteus and what it can do for business.
“Scott brings with him a strong commercial focus whilst being an invaluable team player. His years as a professional footballer have set him up with a fantastic ethos for hard work and determination.”
