These markets included Internet Payment and Billing Systems, Smart Card technology, Telco Billing, and Mobile Content from as early as 1999.

Ross Wellby

Ross began his career as a researcher with Hunterskil Howard after graduating. Ross then moved to PSD Group and was elevated to Senior Consultant, then Divisional Manager and finally Regional Director. Ross has worked at every level of executive search and this is apparent in his confident approach to each assignment.

As a Senior Consultant at PSD, Ross created the highest ever consultant productivity, including the largest single placement fee in the company's history. Following this Ross became the youngest PSD Divisional Director ever appointed.

As Divisional Director Ross took a proactive communications stance and created a supportive environment that retained 100% of consultants during his management. In 2000 Ross became the Regional Director of Electronics and Communications across the UK and Europe. Ross took on two failing areas and returned them to growth, while enabling a culture of support, motivation and retention. This success led to Ross being invited to train other teams both locally and internationally.

Ross joined Peter as a Director of IMR Executive shortly after it was founded, and has specialised in Games, Music and Film.
