Arise Virtual Solutions Inc. Appoints David Cartwright as Group CEO of EMEA
Arise Virtual Solutions Inc., the world’s leading provider of virtual business services, today announced that David J. Cartwright has been appointed Group CEO of EMEA. For the past 20 years, David has served in numerous management, sales, and operations roles at Accenture, holding the role of partner for the past decade. He is charged with building out Arise’s business and operations in the United Kingdom and then expanding through Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“No matter the time zone or language, customers worldwide prefer to hear a local voice respond when they ask for help,” noted Angela Selden, CEO, Arise Virtual Solutions Inc. “Tapping the at-home workforce has become the new normal for companies in the U.S., and the initial response in the U.K. has been enthusiastic. David’s considerable experience and skill will help us answer that demand and to deliver industry leading virtual services to our clients. We are delighted to welcome David to Arise.”
During his tenure at Accenture, David led a number of the company’s largest and most complex onshore and offshore programs. David started his career at Accenture in the healthcare and utilities sectors, later specializing in financial services and outsourcing. He spent two years running the company’s outsourcing business in the financial services industry for the U.K. and Ireland during a period of over 200% growth in revenues. Prior to Accenture, David was with NCR Ltd., developing new business and implementing IT systems.
“I am proud to join my colleagues at Arise in expanding the at-home workforce model in the U.K. and across Europe,” said David Cartwright. “As companies attempt to differentiate in an increasingly global economy, customers demand quality support. Homeshoring and the at-home business model pioneered by Arise delivers on this need by linking customers with independent, home-based customer support professionals in their local communities.”
Mr. Cartwright graduated from Loughborough University in the U.K., with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Diploma in Industrial Studies.
