Jobs in Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Curtis Walker has been appointed as Managing Director at software developer Hybrid Anchor, a strategic move aligned with the company's expansion plans.

Walker steps into his new role with a wealth of experience, previously having founded Abstract Canvas, a 3D visualisation studio based in Glasgow. This transition allows Hybrid founder and former Managing Director, John Loudon, to focus on business development and acquisitions. Recently, Hybrid Anchor successfully incorporated Edinburgh-based web support firm Off Canvas into its group.

John Loudon expressed his confidence in the leadership change, stating, "Bringing Curtis on board is a transformative step. This exemplifies our dedication to operational excellence and long-term growth - not just organic growth but growth by acquisition as well. His leadership, artistic vision and commitment to quality align perfectly with our values, allowing me to focus on new growth and partnership opportunities."

Loudon highlighted Walker's previous accomplishments, including his work on projects like the Radisson Hotel developments in the UK and US, and the Marischal Square development in Aberdeen. Loudon noted, "He has been a pivotal force behind iconic visual projects. His previous roles in other Glasgow agencies saw him not only manage operations and client strategies but also build a 3D studio from the ground up."

The appointment of Curtis Walker is seen as a reinforcement of Hybrid Anchor's commitment to enhancing its operational capabilities. "This appointment strengthens our commitment to scaling the operational strength of our agencies, bringing the experience of a strong creative leader at a time when Hybrid Anchor and Off Canvas are set to expand even further," Loudon added.

Hybrid Anchor has been growing rapidly following its acquisition of Off Canvas, having tripled its design team in the latter half of 2024. Curtis Walker expressed his excitement for his new role, "I look forward to leading the talented teams at Hybrid Anchor and Off Canvas. Having worked with John on numerous projects, I got to see first-hand how Hybrid Anchor approached client work. The culture of always placing clients' experiences at the heart of the companies' success really speaks to how I operate."

He continued by expressing his vision for the future, "I look forward to working closely with our teams to continue providing innovation and will be focused on driving the operational processes and quality benchmark even higher for our clients."

This appointment comes as Hybrid Anchor eyes further expansion, with 2025 expected to be a significant year in the company's growth trajectory.
