LOS ANGELES, August 06, 2010 — The Newman Group, a Futurestep Company and leading provider of talent management consulting services today announced the addition of Ed Lomasney as Vice President of Business Development. The appointment comes as The Newman Group sees continued growth in the demand for its expertise in all facets of talent management strategy and technology.
In his role, Lomasney will coordinate sales efforts and lead in the development and execution of a strategy aimed at continuing the growth of The Newman Group as a leader in its industry. He joins The Newman Group with an extensive background in talent strategy and talent management technology, with more than fourteen years of experience in sales and business development for top technology providers.
Over the last four years, Lomasney managed and led sales training for ADP Pre-Employment Services, creating significant new business over a short timeframe during his tenure. Prior to that, he played a key role in the success of the sales effort for VirtualEdge, helping the company achieve rapid growth leading to its acquisition by ADP. Before VirtualEdge, he contributed as a senior sales executive at Taleo (formerly Recruitsoft) where he achieved consistent revenue growth over a four-year tenure.
“Thanks to a record of client success and continued innovation in our talent management consulting solutions, The Newman Group faces a tremendous growth opportunity as it looks to 2011 and beyond,” said Newman Group General Manager Kelly Cartwright. “With his deep experience in our industry and success in leading business development, Ed provides an ideal combination of experience and knowledge to drive our growth.”
