ALTIA-ABM, the company specialising in investigation and covert management software, has announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer.
Rob Sinclair has been promoted from his position of chief operating officer to the top role in the Glasgow-headquartered group, which develops software used by law enforcement organisations, tax authorities and government agencies in the UK and around the world.
Mr Sinclair succeeds Ian Watson, co-founder of the company and current chief executive since 2013, who will remain on the board as a non-executive director and strategic adviser.

Mr Sinclair said: “Altia-ABM is unique in my view in that the client base we have built around the world is of the highest pedigree. The organisations we work with rightly see trust as being of paramount importance.”
Altia-ABM has recently expanded its sales and support office in Melbourne, Australia, and its operations in Canada, Colombia and Peru.
Mr Watson said the firm is “well placed now to go from strength to strength under Rob’s leadership”.
John Boyle, chairman of Altia-ABM, said: “As a co-founder of the group, Ian Watson deserves every tribute for taking the company to this stage.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
