The Sage Group plc. (Sage) is pleased to announce that Sangeeta
Anand and Irana Wasti have been appointed to its Board as
independent Non-executive Directors. Both appointments take effect
from 1 May 2020.
Sangeeta is a senior software technology leader with extensive
experience in driving P&L, catalysing growth, and transforming
product portfolios to capture the cloud opportunity. Her experience
spans a broad range of public and private companies, from the
Fortune 100 to a $30M stage start-up. Sangeeta has held senior
management roles at F5 Networks Inc and Cisco Systems and is
currently CMO of Alkira Inc, a cloud native software start-up in
San Jose, California. Sangeeta received MBAs from the Wharton
School of Business, University of Pennsylvania and the Symbiosis
Institute of Management at Pune, India and is based in the San
Francisco Bay Area .
Irana is the President for GoDaddy EMEA, driving international
growth by enabling everyday entrepreneurs to start, grow and run
their businesses online. Prior to this role, Irana was SVP and
General Manager for GoDaddy's Productivity business, where she led
teams that provide small businesses with tools and services to help
run their ventures. She previously worked for Intuit where she
oversaw the launch of QuickBooks POS with Mobile Payments
integration, enabling more than 200,000 merchants to "go mobile".
Irana has also held product
and development roles at Google and IBM. An American, she is based in London.
Sir Donald Brydon, Chairman, said: "I am delighted that Sangeeta
and Irana are joining the Sage Board. They each bring strong
experience of high growth cloud technology businesses and digital
transformation. They will bring a new perspective to the Group's
vision of becoming a great SaaS company."
Separately, Steve Hare, CEO, has invited Cath Keers,
Non-executive Director, to work with Sage's brand and customer
teams on projects where she has particularly relevant expertise.
The Board has agreed to this activity but has determined that Cath
will no longer be independent and that her status is therefore
redefined as a non-independent Non-executive Director. Accordingly,
she has stepped down as a member of the Remuneration Committee with
her place taken by Dr John Bates, both with effect from 22 April
2020.
There are no further disclosures required for the purposes of
Listing Rule 9.6.13.
