Mobile technology firm Zamano targeting higher-value acquisitions

Zamano — the Dublin-based mobile technology firm — is eyeing higher-end acquisitions as it seeks to reposition itself for future growth.

The company — which has, traditionally, provided messaging, advertising and payments support tools to mobile communications providers — has also begun the process of finding a new chief executive following the departure of Ross Conlon, who last month took up the newly-created role of managing director of new business ventures at Independent News and Media (INM).

Zamano came close to being acquired, itself, last year before an indicative offer eventually came to nothing.
