Most recently, he was CCO for a Field Force Automation product involving preparing the start-up company for launch from incubation into the global marketplace. Before this, he was CCO for a London-based company offering a SaaS based surveillance and compliance platform.
In his role at Jurassic Fibre, Garrood will be responsible for driving profitable growth in sales from both residential and business customers whilst building the brand in the Southwest and nationally, coordinating sales and marketing efforts.
