In an announcement this morning, OB10/Tungsten has said that former CEO of OB10 and Executive Director of Tungsten Corp, Luke McKeever has left the business. The company has said that he had already transferred the bulk of his responsibilities to focus on the integration programme. His managerial responsibilities have been assumed by Edi Truell and Lincoln Jopp, with the buyer-facing buisiness development roles being fulfilled by John Hall and Ruud van Hilten in EMEA; and by Rick Hurwitz, Peter Schiff Smith and Paul Frederick in the US.

Luke McKeever joined the company just over three years ago and has played an instrumental part in its development in the years running up to its buy-out by Tungsten for £99 million at the tail end of last year. His departure comes as the company completes the first phase of its programme to integrate OB10's e-invoicing network with a new spend analytics tools from @UK PLC and paves the way to the creation of Tugsten Bank.

An enthusiastic and dynamic advocate of all that OB10 is and could be, McKeever has undoubtedly left a lasting legacy. He leaves the business in the safe hands of the senior management team as they continue to focus on meeting customer needs and becoming the world’s largest trading network.
