North East tech recruitment platform Haystack has appointed the former chief operating officer of Google Europe as a director.
The company, based in Gosforth, has announced the appointment of Ben Legg as a non-executive director, who was introduced to the company by investors Mercia. His appointment comes after Haystack’s success in raising £500,000 from the North East Venture Fund (NEVF), supported by the European Regional Development Fund and managed by Mercia, which it plans to use to help break into the US market.
Mr Legg has over 30 years’ experience in senior business and leadership roles and sits on the board of a number of tech companies, while also acting as a coach and mentor.
