Crispin Jewitt - CTO

Crispin Jewitt is an experienced and successful software manager, with a
wide range of experience in embedded software and networking. He has led
development teams in large and small organisations, and has implemented a
variety of software quality systems.

Crispin was appointed as CTO in July 2008, with the brief to accelerate the
growth of a world class appliance engineering team.

His development roles span a number of industries, such as process control,
industrial weighing systems, powerline networking, datacomms and
semiconductor devices. At Madge Networks in the 1990s, his high performance embedded code helped establish the company as the number one supplier of Token Ring Network equipment, and he eventually assumed responsibility for all Token Ring developments. Subsequent to that, he was Head of Software at nSine, a startup pioneering the use of mains wiring for low-cost datacomms within buildings. Immediately prior to joining ApplianSys he led the software function at Oxford Semiconductor Limited that turned software from
being a necessity to being a key differentiator for the company, enabling 40% year on year growth.
