In this newly expanded role, he is responsible for developing and overseeing ITWP’s financial strategy globally and leads the operations team, to ensure an efficient, yet high-value approach to delivering insights on-demand for the company’s global clients. Camagne has been involved in growing the ITWP business, specifically with the acquisition of KuRunData and the recent onboarding of a global, large scale project management system for the business.
Additionally, and in another new role for the company, Michaël Masset has been appointed as ITWP’s Chief Human Resources Officer. In his role, Masset will bring additional focus on developing a best-in-market corporate culture for ITWP by promoting the company’s corporate values, and shared vision globally.
