OVERLAND PARK, Kan., 2014-06-10 17:30 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartesian, a
specialist provider of consulting services and managed solutions to the global
communications, technology and digital media industries, today announced the
expansion of its leadership team with the hire of seasoned industry executives
to its business development teams. 

Clayton LiaBraaten and Jim Erickson join Cartesian's North American Business
Development and Sales organization, along with Richard Scoggins in Global
Business Development and Strategic Partnerships. Earlier this year, Paul Rusby
came on board taking on the role as Executive Director in Commercial in the
company's EMEA division. 

'The bolstering of our senior leadership highlights the momentum in our
business development initiatives as we deliver higher value services globally,'
said Donald Klumb, CEO of Cartesian. 'Clayton, Jim, Richard and Paul have had
careers spanning over the last 30 years in the communications, technology and
media industries - a time of much technological change and consolidation.
Hiring the most knowledgeable and skilled people to our leadership team is a
reflection of our dedication to growth and our strategy to further enhance our
solutions offerings to our clients.' 

As Vice President for Business Development and Sales, Clayton LiaBraaten and
Jim Erickson will focus on bringing the managed solutions offerings to clients.
Experienced in innovative, disruptive growth and leadership in the dotcom,
telecom and media space, LiaBraaten has held a number of executive roles
including his previous position as SVP of Carrier and Mobile Markets at
Neustar. Erickson has a background in operations, marketing and sales, and
general management previously holding management roles at CenturyLink (Qwest),
AOL Time Warner, Comcast Cable and TeleTech. With extensive experience in
telecoms and consulting at EMC, IBM and Motorola, and most recently at Tech
Data, Richard Scoggins will be expanding Cartesian's global partner network. 

A veteran of the telco industry, Paul Rusby has held commercial and operational
leadership positions in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer
sectors. In his last role, he was a key member of the ntl/Virgin Media
management team which was acquired by Liberty Global last year. Working closely
with Cartesian's energy business solutions partner, Elutions, Rusby will be
driving the company's Smart Buildings, Smart Assets and managed solutions
offerings as well as developing key client accounts in EMEA for Cartesian. 

In early 2014, Cartesian reorganized its business units and rebranded the firm
from TMNG Global. In its first quarter results, the company reported 16 percent
core revenue growth and stock price has doubled since February. 'What attracted
me to join the team are the leadership, talent and positive direction of the
company within the framework of the recent transformation,' states LiaBraaten.
