The recent addition of Mindfull, a business intelligence consultancy with around 30 staff, raised Fusion5’s revenue to $100 million and its headcount to 470 staff across nine offices.
"With Waterman on board, Fusion5 will continue to grow both organically and through acquisition," Tohill said.
"The market is presenting many opportunities across all our vendor partnerships and we are excited to take advantage of these."
