28th October 2016 – Covata Limited (ASX:CVT) a leading data and cyber security technology company, has appointed Dana Danieli as VP of marketing, communications and investor relations. Dana replaces Nichola Parker, VP of communications and investor relations, and Jenny Song, the former VP of marketing – both Washington DC based.

In Dana’s time at Bravura, the company grew from 70 employees in three offices in APAC, to over 1000 employees across 15 offices in ten countries, undertook eight merger & acquisition transactions, and spent over seven years listed on the ASX.

Commenting on the appointment, Covata founder and CEO Trent Telford said, “We are excited to have Dana join our growing team. Her strategic and process oriented approach will be important to our product marketing and communications for both our Safe Share and Key-as-a-Service (KaaS) products across Australia, the UK and the US.”
