Aberdeen-based software company COMET has appointed two recent graduates from Robert Gordon University (RGU), strengthening its sales and marketing functions as the business continues to grow across the UK and internationally.
Adam Redouani joins as sales development representative after completing his MSc in International Marketing with Distinction. With a background in CRM strategy, sales enablement and digital campaigns, he brings valuable commercial experience that will support COMET’s plans to reach new markets.
Viktoria Fang, who recently graduated with a BA (Hons) in Digital Marketing, has taken on the role of graduate marketing executive. She brings experience in content creation, video production and campaign planning. Viktoria first crossed paths with COMET through RGU’s Digital Marketing Agency module, where she worked on a live brief for Code the City, a local tech-for-good charity supported by COMET.
“We’re delighted to welcome Viktoria and Adam to the team,” said COMET’s marketing manager, Brenda Harrison. “Adam’s experience in both sales and marketing makes him a strong addition to our commercial team. Viktoria brings creativity, drive and a solid understanding of digital marketing. I would say they are both the best of the best.”
COMET provides specialist software for high-risk industries, supporting incident investigation, audit, root cause analysis and supply chain assurance. Its clients include organisations across the energy, construction, maritime and rail sectors.
As part of its wider support for emerging talent, COMET has worked closely with RGU on a range of student engagement projects. Brenda was recently recognised by Aberdeen Business School with a Certificate of Recognition with Distinction for her role as an industry partner. Over the past year, she supported two student consultancy projects, one through COMET and another through Code The City. Both formed part of the university’s Digital Marketing Agency and Leadership modules.
Other recent hires
In March, COMET welcomed Francesco Gruosso to the team as a full-stack software developer. Francesco also graduated from Robert Gordon University, where he earned a first-class BSc (Hons) in Computer Science. Francesco has settled into the team quickly and is already making a positive contribution to COMET’s product development work.
COMET CEO Mark Rushton added: “We believe in giving graduates real opportunities to grow. Adam and Viktoria stood out for their enthusiasm, professionalism and potential. We are proud they have chosen to begin their careers with us.”
