Board Changes and Appointment of CFO
Quixant (AIM: QXT), a leading provider of innovative, highly
engineered technology products principally to the global gaming
industry is delighted to announce a further strengthening and
restructuring of the Board as follows:
-- Nick Jarmany, currently CEO, has been appointed
Vice Chairman with executive responsibility
for technology leadership and innovation.
Nick is a founding director of the Group
and is beneficially interested in 18.4% of
the Group's issued share capital;
-- Jon Jayal, currently COO, has been appointed
CEO. Jon was a key member of the design group
which developed Quixant's first product in
2005. After a period in the financial sector
Jon returned to Quixant in 2012 as General
Manager. He was promoted to the Board as
COO in June 2016;
-- Cresten Preddy, currently CFO, has indicated
her wish to have a plan in place for her
to retire from a full-time role, and over
the last few months the Board has conducted
a process to identify a suitable replacement;
-- Guy Millward will join the Group as CFO on
1 October 2018. Guy qualified as a Chartered
Accountant at Ernst and Young in 1989. He
has extensive experience as Finance Director
of several public companies in the electronics,
software and IT sectors. He joins Quixant
from Imagination Technologies Group plc,
which he joined as CFO in 2015.
Commenting on the changes, Nick Jarmany said:
"When we founded Quixant in 2005 our focus was on product
innovation and development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. The
Group is now a medium sized business with employees around the
world and needs a strong management team with robust systems and
controls. Relinquishing CEO responsibilities frees me to focus on
technology and product innovation. Jon has already proved his
ability to carry out CEO responsibilities and I have every
confidence he will continue our track record of strong profitable
growth."
Michael Peagram, Non-Executive Chairman of Quixant, said:
"As the Group continues to grow a strong management team is
essential. I am delighted we have attracted someone of the calibre
of Guy Millward, who I believe will make an excellent partner for
Jon in his new role. I am confident he will play a critical role
over the next few years as the business continues to grow."
