Synectics plc (AIM: SNX): Synectics has appointed Dr Kerstin Wendt to lead its growing German business with major public transport operators. Dr Wendt will be based in Synectics' new Berlin office as the business brings its German operations closer to key customer locations.

 

Dr Wendt becomes part of the Synectics team following 13 years in public transport operations and transportation technology businesses.

"Kerstin is ideally positioned to develop our German business. Her experience within the urban transport industry and knowledge of digital technology in transport operations, will enable our clients to maximise their investment in our software solutions. 

 

"At the same time, she will play a key role as we open up new opportunities for the innovative security and operations management solution we are implementing for S-Bahn Berlin as part of its new Security and Service (4S) Center development. New collaborative applications for workforce management with interactive mobile capabilities are set to transform the capability and reach of urban transport control room operations."
