STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN--(Marketwired - Oct 2, 2017) - DigitalRoute, the leading provider of Data Integration solutions globally, announces the appointment of Stephen Bryant to the position of CTO. This will further strengthen the development and growth of the market's technology leader. In this new role at DigitalRoute, Stephen will be responsible for initiating and expanding dialogues with major partners and customer groups, evolving DigitalRoute's strategic offerings into the Internet of Things enabling the growing wave of digitalization demands in both telecoms and enterprises.
Stephen's broad network of existing customers, media, analyst and partner contacts, cultivated in his previous roles, will enable him to enter the role of CTO with a detailed understanding of market needs. His arrival in the role of CTO brings unrivalled experience, knowledge and insight into driving the company's IoT strategy including new offerings and exploration of new potential markets for the company.
Stephen is a pioneer in IoT and all things digital and has worked with many of the largest and most prestigious enterprises to build globally available business and life critical connectivity and supporting services into their brand. He is a well-known figure and industry thought-leader in the IoT space, frequently speaking at events and webinars, writing in the media and sitting on panels at events such as Web Summit, Mobile World Congress and IoT events globally.

Significant opportunities lie ahead for DigitalRoute and it is exciting to be part of an organization being adapted to specifically respond to them."
