Mobile Tornado Appoints Luke Wilkinson as CEO, Marking Leadership Transition
Company - People | Jun 12, 2025 | Business Cloud
Mobile Tornado, a push-to-talk over cellular and workforce management solution provider, has appointed Luke Wilkinson as CEO after nearly two-and-a-half years of interim leadership by Chairman Jeremy Fenn. Wilkinson, who joined the company in October 2022 as a director and later became COO, will now lead the company through its next growth phase. This decision comes in the wake of a declining share price and market cap since former CEO Avi Tooba's departure. The company has seen its market cap nearly halve, currently at 3.82 million. Despite these challenges, Wilkinson's leadership has been praised for enhancing the firm's business development strategy, expanding its global partner network, and deepening customer engagement, thereby setting the stage for future growth.
