About Symbian
Symbian is a software licensing company that develops and licenses Symbian OS, the market-leading open operating system for advanced, data-enabled mobile phones known as smartphones. Symbian has its headquarters in London, United Kingdom, with offices in the United States, and Asia (India, P.R. China, Korea and Japan). Symbian is growing rapidly and today employs 1500 staff including over 1000 software engineers.
The Role
There was the unique opportunity for an outstanding EVP Software Engineering to join the executive team and lead evolution and growth of the highly talented global software engineering organisation. This is one of the most significant, exciting and highest profile software engineering leadership roles and given the specific skills and experience required it necessitated a global executive search.
Client Feedback
This was a business critical hire for Symbian – it was essential that we de-risked the hiring process and this is why we chose to work with Gillamor Stephens. We were not disappointed - they delivered on their credentials as a specialist search firm, who understand our sector, understand how to effectively identify and hire a board level executive with the competencies we required and importantly had the global reach combined with the speed and agility to deliver a great result. They understood the impact on our future success of this key role and we have been able to make an excellent hire.
