Board change
SQS Software Quality Systems AG (AIM: SQS.L), the world's
largest pure play supplier of independent software testing and
quality management services, announces that David Cotterell had
agreed with the Supervisory Board that now is the right time to
resign as a main board director of SQS Software Quality Systems
AG.
David has been responsible for a three-fold expansion of the UK,
Ireland and South Africa since the business of which he was CEO was
acquired by SQS in 2006. A long established succession plan will
take care of this business going forward. His other main board
activities with Investor Relations will be absorbed by the Group
Main Board.
David joined the Company following the acquisition of Cresta Ltd
in May 2006, of which he was CEO, and was appointed to the Group
Main Board in July 2008.
SQS acknowledges David's huge contribution since he has been
with the Company and wishes him every success in the future.
In line with the divisional reporting structure of the group,
Steve Fice, who will take over the regional responsibility for
'West Organisation North and South' (comprising of the UK, Ireland,
South Africa, India, US and the Nordics) will now report to
Diederik Vos, the group's recently appointed Chief Operating
Officer.
Rudolf van Megen, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "David was
invaluable to the successful integration of Cresta and the smooth
running of the 'West Organisation North and South'. The board would
like to thank him for his contribution to the success of the SQS
group and wish him well for his future endeavours."
