Synchronica’s goal of building on its de-facto leadership position in emerging markets to become a global leader in the mobile messaging sector remains unchanged.

Synchronica plc, the international provider of next generation mobile messaging solutions, has announced several changes to its Board of Directors. With immediate effect David Mason will become Executive Chairman. Angus Dent, previously Chief Financial Officer will take the role of Chief Executive Officer and Arthur Phillips, Synchronica’s Company Secretary will become the company’s interim Chief Financial Officer.
Carsten Brinkschulte resigned his position as CEO and Nicole Meissner has left the company; the Board expresses its thanks for their significant contribution.
Angus Dent, Synchronica CEO commented: “Carsten and Nicole were the founders of Synchronica and have been instrumental in building the company into one of the world’s leading mobile messaging businesses. After a number of strategic acquisitions Synchronica is now entering a new phase in which we must focus on integrating the people and products we have acquired and build on the successes that we have achieved in order to provide greater shareholder value.”
Angus Dent has been a member of the Synchronica Board for over five years and David Mason has been Non Executive Chairman of Synchronica for four years.  The Synchronica Board therefore believes both have the skills and experience necessary to see the business through its next phase of development.
