The Board of Aptitude Software Group plc announced that Tom Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Aptitude Software, will not be seeking re-election at the 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). Tom will continue to lead the business for a number of months and, following the 2020 AGM, is expected to continue to contribute to Aptitude Software on a part-time basis. It announce that Jeremy Suddards will be appointed to the Board on 1 September 2019.

Jeremy will transition to the role of Chief Executive Officer in the coming months once the new management structures have been finalised. The experiences acquired in his previous roles and from his time with Aptitude Software support the Board's view that Jeremy has the required talent and skills to lead the business through its next phase of growth. Following the disposal of Microgen Financial Systems, Philip Wood (currently Chief Financial Officer) will be totally focused on the continuing business.

As a result of this change Philip is appointed to the position of Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with immediate effect. Alex Curran is appointed to lead the North American business as Executive Vice President with responsibility for approximately 50% of Aptitude Software's revenues, including software and professional services.
