Online child protection services provider Crisp Thinking has announced that it has added Myril Shaw to its executive team as its new vice president of business development in the U.S. Working alongside sales vice president Campbell Ferrier, Myril will be charged with expanding Crisp's partners, customer development, and partnership programs.

Previous to Crisp, Shaw worked at Adtron as managing director of international sales. He has also held management and executive level positions at RLX Technologies (acquired by HP), Sequent (acquired by IBM), Cap Gemini, and Tandem Computers.

Headquartered in Leeds, UK, Crisp Thinking offers a variety of child protection solutions for virtual worlds and social networks designed to fend off abusers, predators, and bullies. The company recently announced partnerships to incorporate its safeguards into Xivio and Cartoon Network New Media's FusionFall.

Said Crisp Thinking CEO Andrew Lintell: "The last six months have been tremendously busy for Crisp and we are expanding very rapidly to meet the huge demand, Myril will play a crucial role in helping us to deliver exciting opportunities quickly and effectively."
