("Netcall", the "Company" or

Appointment of Non-Executive
Director
Netcall plc (AIM: NET), a leading
provider of intelligent automation and customer engagement
software, is pleased to announce the appointment of James Platt to
the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director, effective 24
October 2024.
James is a co-founder of Trimstone
Partners, a boutique consultancy focused on the insurance, wealth
and professional services sectors. He brings extensive experience
of operational transformation and technology innovation, especially
within the financial and professional services sector. Previously,
James served as Group Chief Operating Officer of Aon PLC, where he
helped create, then led, Aon Business Services, integrating Aon's
fragmented operations and technology functions into a centrally
managed service organisation. This provided a foundation for the
firm's growth and drove significant cost efficiencies. As CEO of
Aon's global digital business, he transformed the approach to the
small client segment and drove the acquisition and scaling of
CoverWallet, an SMB Insuretech business. Earlier in his career, he
led data and analytics and was CEO of Aon's insurer consulting
business. He also served on Aon's global executive committee and
co-chaired the firm's risk committee.
Before joining Aon, James was a
Partner and Managing Director in the Boston Consulting Group (BCG),
where he established BCG's technology and insurance practices in
the UK, focusing on large-scale business and technology
transformation. He also founded and led BCG's data and
analytics practice, collaborating with global clients to develop
and execute data strategies.
Henrik Bang, Non-Executive Chair,
commented: "We are delighted to be
welcoming James to the Board as an Independent Non-Executive
Director. His considerable experience in delivering large-scale
digital transformation initiatives, both in an executive and
consultant capacity, coupled with his deep knowledge of the
financial services industry, will be a valuable asset to the Group.
The Board looks forward to working with James and leveraging his
knowledge and experience to support the Company through the next
stages of growth."
