Reinout te Brake Founder of iQU, comments: “As we enter the next stage of the Company’s evolution, with the launch of our Mobilize effort and new solutions for our clients, we are confident that Mr. Bakre will play a pivotal role in strengthening the foundation that the team have built since launching in 2009.”
