The addition of a new team member will help us to build on this success at a global level.”
“I am excited to be taking the helm of NorthgateArinso. We have international reach and presence, some unique products and solutions, and people with a great track record in delivering client satisfaction. This combined with our entrepreneurial spirit and agility in the market will enable us to capitalise on the current economic conditions through enabling our clients to save costs and improve efficiencies,” said Ettling
