Forbidden Technologies Appoints Chief Operating And Financial Officer

Forbidden Technologies has created a new board role of Chief Operating and Financial Officer.

The company has appointed, subject to usual due diligence checks, Stephen White to the role. Stephen is currently Vice President Finance, UK and EMEA Emerging Markets at Comcast's NBC Universal’s Networks Division and will start with the Company after serving his notice period. It is currently anticipated that Stephen will join the Board and commence his role in April 2019.

Stephen has 25 years experience in senior finance roles with media companies such as NBC Universal, BBC Worldwide (now known as BBC Studios), The Walt Disney Company and Jetix after qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with Ernst and Young. A further announcement, which will include the required disclosures under the AIM Rules for Companies for the appointment of a director to the board, will be made in due course.

The company also announced that Jonathan Lees, the Company's current Finance Director, will step down from the board when Stephen joins.

In addition to the creation of the Chief Operating and Financial Officer role, the firm has recently made a number of important appointments including Adrian Lambert as Marketing Director and Oliver Parker as a Strategic Account Director. The company has also hired George Maddocks in its Pre-Sales team and appointed a senior developer.
