SYSPRO appoints Leanne Taylor to drive global revenue growth
SYSPRO has named Leanne Taylor as its new Chief Revenue Officer with the aim of advancing global growth and digital transformation initiatives.
Taylor brings extensive executive experience, having served as Senior Vice President of Group Commercial Strategy at Cloud Software Group, where she managed a multi-billion-dollar business and led alignment across several divisions.
Before joining SYSPRO, Taylor held the role of Chief Operating Officer, where she was responsible for developing go-to-market strategies and overseeing large-scale business transformations that focused on driving profitability and improving efficiency. Her career also includes executive leadership positions at Citrix and SAP, where she led teams tasked with delivering technology solutions tailored to industry sectors.
Jaco Maritz, Chief Executive Officer of SYSPRO, commented on Taylor's appointment: "Leanne's expertise in revenue acceleration, customer success, and partner ecosystems will be instrumental in helping us capitalise on new market opportunities and scale our digital manufacturing solutions. Her leadership aligns perfectly with our growth ambitions, and we are confident she will drive long-term value for our customer and partner community."
The appointment comes after the company's acquisition by Advent International, a private equity firm focused on facilitating the expansion of technology businesses. Since the acquisition, SYSPRO has progressed its expansion strategy by enhancing its technological capabilities and bolstering its presence in significant markets, including the United States and United Kingdom.
As part of its growth plans under Advent International's ownership, SYSPRO acquired its long-term channel partner NexSys in the first quarter of the new partnership.
Reflecting on her new role, Taylor said: "I am excited to join the talented team at SYSPRO at such a pivotal time in its growth journey. SYSPRO's strong foundation in digital manufacturing, commitment to innovation, and customer-centric and partner-first approach creates significant opportunities for revenue expansion and deeper partnerships. I look forward to developing our talent, leading our global revenue strategy, and contributing to the company's continued success."
With Taylor directing the global revenue strategy, SYSPRO states it is positioned to strengthen its role in core markets and continue its focus on digital transformation within the manufacturing sector.
