SYSPRO has announced the appointment of Leanne Taylor as its new chief revenue officer as the digital manufacturing solutions provider looks to accelerate global growth.

SYSPRO expansion gathers pace
The appointment follows the acquisition of SYSPRO by global private equity firm Advent International - a move the firm said has helped advance its expansion strategy and bolster its technology capabilities.
The takeover has also helped extend the company’s reach into markets such as the US and the UK, including SYSPRO’s acquisition of channel partner NextSys during the first quarter of new ownership.
Back in March, SYSPRO also announced the appointment of Josef Al-Sibaie as its new chief of staff and corporate development officer.
With Taylor now on board leading revenue strategy, SYSPRO said it is well-positioned to achieve its expansion ambitions.
“I am excited to join the talented team at SYSPRO at such a pivotal time in its growth journey,” Taylor commented.
“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.”
