Member News: COMET Welcomes New RGU Graduates To Growing Sales And Marketing Team

Aberdeen-based software company COMET has appointed two recent graduates from Robert Gordon University (RGU), strengthening its sales and marketing functions as the business continues to grow across the UK and internationally.

Adam Redouani joins as Sales Development Representative after completing his MSc in International Marketing with Distinction. With a background in CRM strategy, sales enablement and digital campaigns, he brings valuable commercial experience that will support COMET’s plans to reach new markets.

Viktoria Fang, who recently graduated with a BA (Hons) in Digital Marketing, has taken on the role of Graduate Marketing Executive. She brings experience in content creation, video production and campaign planning. Viktoria first crossed paths with COMET through RGU’s Digital Marketing Agency module, where she worked on a live brief for Code the City, a local tech-for-good charity supported by COMET.

“We’re delighted to welcome Viktoria and Adam to the team,” said COMET’s Marketing Manager, Brenda Harrison. “Adam’s experience in both sales and marketing makes him a strong addition to our commercial team. Viktoria brings creativity, drive and a solid understanding of digital marketing. I would say they are both the best of the best.”

COMET provides specialist software for high-risk industries, supporting incident investigation, audit, root cause analysis and supply chain assurance. Its clients include organisations across the energy, construction, maritime and rail sectors.

As part of its wider support for emerging talent, COMET has worked closely with RGU on a range of student engagement projects. Brenda was recently recognised by Aberdeen Business School with a Certificate of Recognition with Distinction for her role as an industry partner. Over the past year, she supported two student consultancy projects, one through COMET and another through Code The City. Both formed part of the university’s Digital Marketing Agency and Leadership modules.

Other recent hires

In March, COMET welcomed Francesco Gruosso to the team as a Full-Stack Software Developer. Francesco also graduated from Robert Gordon University, where he earned a first-class BSc (Hons) in Computer Science. Francesco has settled into the team quickly and is already making a positive contribution to COMET’s product development work.

COMET CEO Mark Rushton added, “We believe in giving graduates real opportunities to grow. Adam and Viktoria stood out for their enthusiasm, professionalism and potential. We are proud they have chosen to begin their careers with us.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
