The Sales Lead Management Association ranks Ian as one of the top 10 most influential people, in recognition of his track record for driving multi-digit growth.

Ian said: “I’m incredibly delighted to bring to Axios my passion and enthusiasm for delivering great customer outcomes through excellence in IT experiences. We’ve got an extraordinary opportunity to present to the industry the benefits of SaaS-based ITSM, as well as the great value and game change that can be gained from using Axios’ industry-leading solution, assyst, through an on premise or SaaS based offering. It’s a privilege to provide customised advice and personalised recommendations based on each organisation’s requirements and aspirations.”

Tasos Symeonides, CEO at Axios Systems, said: “Ian joins us as we further accelerate our growth in the service management industry. ITSM powered by SaaS is expected to grow at an annual rate of 16 percent by 2019. It’s never been more crucial for organisations to consider the cost-savings and business efficiencies that can be achieved using SaaS-based ITSM. As a leading IT expert trusted throughout the industry, Ian is well-positioned to help C-level executives maximise this opportunity and increase their digital agility and service capabilities.”
