New Cambridge Intelligence CEO to lead scale-up strategy

Data visualisation specialist Cambridge Intelligence has appointed a new CEO and reshaped its leadership team to support a fresh phase of growth.

Since 2011 the company has created what it calls the world's leading data visualisation tools to ‘join the dots’ in data, and make the world a safer place.

The new CEO is Bryan Amesbury, who has been a member of the top team since 2017 and is a veteran of the enterprise software industry across the US, EMEA and APAC.

Founded by Joe Parry, Cambridge Intelligence launched a new generation of flexible, lightweight and user-friendly connected data visualisation tools for the law enforcement and intelligence sector.

Today it has more than 300 customers in 34 countries, ranging from national governments and banks to pioneering startups and well-known technology vendors.

Law enforcement now forms just one part of the customer base, with particular growth in the domains of cyber security, fraud management and business intelligence.

Parry remains as chairman of the board. He says: “It’s a hugely exciting new chapter for the business. As an early-stage founder, I’ve needed to wear many hats – often speaking as chief exec, product manager, development manager and more, in a single meeting.

“But as the company has evolved, we’ve built a strong management team with a broad range of skills and expertise. In our second decade, we’ve begun harnessing that expertise to move away from a reactive approach to innovation, towards one in which we proactively drive growth.”

Bryan Amesbury has been an integral part of the leadership team since 2017.

He said: “I’m excited to have this opportunity to work with the team to build on our company’s tremendous achievements. Our track record of technology innovation and quality gives us an excellent basis for maximising market opportunities for the business, as the importance of graph visualisation continues to develop.”

Amesbury is supported by a new leadership team that includes Chief Revenue Officer Kaush Kotak, Chief Technology Officer Nick Collings, and Chief Financial Officer Chris Howell.
