International marketing specialist Rhiannon Prothero has been head hunted by food and beverage software company Intentia to take on the new post of northwest Europe marketing director.


“There’s a new challenge for information technology companies operating in the food and beverage markets. The days of the generalists are gone,” said Prothero, welcoming her brief to drive a new industry-focused strategy at Intentia and build its leadership in the food and beverage market.


Her appointment, she says, “demonstrates a dynamic step change in Intentia’s approach to the market”.
