Alan Welsman to oversee product management and marketing
Mobile content provider InfoSpace has appointed former PlayStation marketing boss Alan Welsman as vice president of European product management and marketing.
Welsman has more than a decade of experience within the games and mobile industries, previously taking on the role of marketing director at Sony Computer Entertainment. Most recently, Welsman was head of entertainment at Orange where he was responsible for the company's mobile music, games, film and video divisions.

"I am delighted that Alan has joined the team," said Davis.
"His knowledge of entertainment content across multiple formats will be a tremendous asset as we continue to expand our mobile content library."
