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.

Back in March, SYSPRO also announced the appointment of Josef Al-Sibaie as its new chief of staff and corporate development officer.

“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.”
