AMSTERDAM, NL and LONDON, UK – Zivver , a leader in secure communications solutions, today announced that three new executives have joined the company – Adam Low as Chief Technology Officer (CTO); Adnan Erriade as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO); and Robert Fleming as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). All three C-suite leaders are based in the UK, which is one of the world’s prime SaaS B2B markets. The UK is also Zivver’s hub for international
growth, supporting customers and prospects nationwide, as well as in North America and throughout mainland Europe.
“As we gear up to meet the demand for pervasive secure digital communications, we’re expanding our executive team with the addition of three exceptional leaders to help scale international growth,” said Wouter Klinkhamer, CEO, Zivver. “We’ve been extraordinarily successful in our home markets of The Netherlands and Belgium, penetrating multiple verticals including financial services, healthcare, legal services and public sector.

“Adam, Adnan and Robert each possess key qualities that will help bolster Zivver for long-term success – experience, leadership, dynamic personalities and a proven track record. As CTO, Adam will orchestrate the expansion of our secure communication platform, from email data protection and secure file transfer to adjacent use cases like digital signatures and secure forms, as well as workflow support. Our CRO Adnan will lead all aspects of Zivver’s commercial sales organisation, applying his strong customer centric approach and entrepreneurial spirit, which was the foundation for his success and growth at SAP and Decibel. As CMO, Robert will drive our international go to market efforts, bringing his proven ability to take a company from local champion to global leader,” added Klinkhamer.
