Leading telecom and technology MD to Chair WebObjective

Jonathan Watts, president of Hutchison Network Services, main board director of Alliance and Leicester and former managing director of COLT Telecommunications, has been appointed chairman of fast-growing website positioning company WebObjective.

Following private funding, WebObjective is strengthening its senior management team to accelerate its development in the UK and abroad. WebObjective’s unique and proprietary ‘Intelligent Positioning’ system uses sophisticated technology to track the rankings of individual websites, move them to the first page of Search Engine organic listings and keep them there – a fundamental requirement for impact.

Phil Hendey, CEO of WebObjective, comments: “We are delighted and privileged to have Jonathan on board; he brings exceptional experience and vision to WebObjective. Not only is Jonathan further reinforcing the company’s management team, but his appointment builds external confidence in our already proven website positioning technology, ‘Intelligent Positioning’, with blue-chip customers.”

Jonathan Watts adds: “WebObjective presents a rare opportunity to define and dominate a new space - ‘Intelligent Positioning’. Everyone now uses Search Engines but they rarely look past the first page of results. Therefore, companies that use the web as an integral part of their business need to be on page one or they will lose out. Intelligent positioning not only gets companies on the first page, but keeps them there without having to pay the individual Search Engines for the privilege. The ability to deliver this service gives WebObjective tremendous potential for growth both in the UK and overseas.”
Jonathan Watts is president of Hutchison Network Services (part of the Hutchison Whampoa Group) and a non-executive director of Alliance & Leicester. Previously he was managing director of COLT Telecommunications, Europe's largest business telephony, data and internet company and held senior positions in the UK and overseas in a number of telecommunications and technology companies, including National Band Three Ltd, Aircall Holdings, Sintrom Plc, Datapoint Corp and Control Data Corp.
