("Dev Clever" or "the Company")

New Appointment: Tim Heaton joins as COO/CSO

Dev Clever, a leading developer of gamification solutions and careers guidance software, is pleased to announce Tim Heaton as its new COO and CSO.

Tim, who was previously the Business Development Director for EMEA at Oracle, will join the Company on 1 October 2019 to develop and lead the team in delivering an accelerated global commercial strategy.

Tim joins the Company with 30 years' experience in driving sales, operational efficiency and expansion in growth environments including software as a service (SaaS) globally. Over his career, Tim has developed an in-depth operational understanding of the global retail, hospitality, sports and leisure sectors as well as EPOS and retail technology solutions gained from earlier roles including, Head of Central Operations at Boots Do It All, Retail Software Solutions Director at Wincor Nixdorf, and Director of Sports and Entertainment Solutions at Oracle.

Tim's background, network and experience will provide the Company with the leadership, framework and expertise to exploit the commercial opportunities provided by Dev Clever's existing and new Engage platform partnerships. Tim's experience will also be invaluable in the implementation of our strategy to provide the Company's Educate careers guidance software applications as a joint proposition with a global hardware manufacturer.

Commenting on the new hire, Christopher Jeffries, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, said:

"We are delighted to be welcoming Tim to Dev Clever to help build on the positive response we have received from retailers, brands, educators and employers following our recent product launches. Tim's experience of working with retail marketing, operations, EPOS and retail software solutions providers, and global hardware manufacturers is the exact expertise we need to capitalise on our innovation, credibility and direct routes to market through our products and partnerships. We look forward to working with Tim to develop and grow our teams through his expertise, and supporting the Company's growth and global expansion ambitions."

Commenting on his new position, Tim Heaton, said:

This is an incredibly exciting time for me to be joining the Dev Clever business; as the challenge of customer retention and engagement increases and consumer attention span constantly decreases, the Company's gamification platform coupled with its more immersive and engaging experiences will improve these greatly. Dev Clever's Engage platform is well positioned to help take personalised B2Me engagements to new heights and, in parallel, the Educate platform, through the use of an innovative, ground breaking VR experience is a unique offering that is set to play a vital part in helping develop targeted learning pathways for students of all areas and ages. I look forward to working with this incredibly talented team and helping Dev Clever customers achieve their digital transformation and engagement goals.
