Today, I am excited to announce a significant change, as after nearly four years at the helm of Sitecore it is an opportunity for me to take a pivotal change in my career, and pursue new opportunities.
But I am not bidding farewell to Sitecore yet, as I will continue working with the Board, and will continue to have a keen interest in the success of the Company as a shareholder. I will be around for a few months to support my friends and colleagues Dave O'Flanagan, who takes over as interim CEO & Darren Roos who takes over as the new Chairman. I have known Dave and Darren for many years , and know that together with our strong Leadership Team and AMAZING 2000-strong colleagues, will further accelerate our growth momentum.
An exhilarating growth journey that saw us:
⚡️Double our Software ARR, in less than 4 years, crossing the $500M mark, making us one of the largest European Software Companies
⚡️Solidify our position as the No2 in the DXP space, and main challenger to the category leader
⚡️Transition our complete portfolio to modern cloud, with growth rates in the high 30s, as a result of organic development and 5 Tech Acquisitions
⚡️Transform our Services Practice to perform Premium Support to our customers, and expand our ecosystem, combining our 25K-strong Developer Community and some of the industry’s best Partners;
⚡️Above all, built a winning culture and a platform that some of the world’s greatest brands trust to run their digital experiences.
But none of that would have been possible without the resilience and dedication of the 2000-strong Sitecorians, our Board, our Shareholders & Founders who have given me the strength, guidance and encouragement to pursue our vision, to disrupt our category and lead by innovation.
This milestone also gives me the opportunity to step away and spend some quality time with my wife and kids, who have been my biggest supporters over the past 4 years. When the time is right, I will announce my next steps.
THANK YOU 🙏
