Stockton leaves iTouch UK (recently bought by Buongiorno) to become Flirtomatic’s first full time Finance Director.  Prakash joins from Hachette-Filipacchi Digital where she was Creative Director for Digital where she launched Sugarscape, a teen social bookmarking site for Sugar magazine and re-launched Elle online. Prior to this she was at the BBC as Innovation Executive. Both will start in April.

Prakash will be leading product development, helping to drive user revenue and ensuring the user experience of Flirtomatic constantly improves.  She has over eight years experience pioneering digital products from concept to delivery for global brands, including leading the BBC Mobile design team, and the BBC iPlayer prototype development which was commended by Bill Gates for interface design.

Stockton is CIMA qualified and has extensive experience in the mobile entertainment world with a long standing employment with iTouch and then Ostrich Media.  He is known for his expertise in driving efficiency and productivity in a company. 

Mark Curtis, CEO of Flirtomatic said, “Having the right team is absolutely essential to the future of our business – and I’m thrilled we’ve been able to attract these two.  Both Priya and James are the perfect kind of person we need at Flirtomatic for us to grow.  Their expertise in digital and mobile means we can continue to drive revenue while ensuring our product is pushed forward.”
