InfoBasis has appointed Julian Reading as its new sales director.

Formerly sales director at KnowledgePool, Reading also worked at PeopleSoft, where he was international account manager, and Siebel, where he was a senior sales executive for four years.

"Julian's breadth of experience in this field will be invaluable," says InfoBasis CEO Ashley Wheaton. "We are finding interest in our skills management platform increasing rapidly. Julian's role will be to marshal this interest and make sure that we service our clients to best effect."

Reading's role will also include providing increased services and support to InfoBasis' expanding partner channel, said Wheaton.
