The newly formed 'Plus Company Platform Team' will further the company's commitment to deliver technology-amplified creative and multidisciplinary collaboration, with the intention to drive industry firsts.

Building upon Plus Company's corporate growth strategy, the new roles will enhance the company's technology & data capabilities for current and future business needs, integrate infrastructure and investments globally, and deliver increased revenue from technology, digital and data streams.

Patel joins Plus Company from his previous role as Global Chief Technology Officer at digital marketing agency iCrossing, with previous experience from Digitas North America as SVP, Technology.

"This role gives me the opportunity to develop a technology strategy that allows our company to be competitive and drive innovation in an area under constant change. Ultimately, we want to enhance the employee and customer experience, create operational efficiencies that lead to faster decision-making, and drive growth for the company through additional revenue streams."
