theEword appoints Chris Sheffield as chairman

Search agency theEword has appointed Chris Sheffield, the founder of both Eunite and mobile gaming outfit Million-2-1, to its board in the position of chairman.

Sheffield boasts experience from an 11 year stint at Deloite as principle partner, in addition to his role in the two start-ups, both of which he sold - Eunite to N Brown and Million-2-1 to gaming giant IGT.

He will retain his current position as senior vice president of technology, media and telecoms at China Resources and Investment Vehicle while working with the Trafford-based digital outfit.

Al Mackin, MD at theEword, explained why the business had brought Sheffield in: “Chris has a long track record of success with companies which specialise in new media and technology.
 
“This synergy of experience, alongside his history of growing businesses, made him the perfect choice for theEword and we are delighted to be able to draw on his knowledge and business skills.”
