Software firm names new CFO

Ruddington-based software company Ideagen has revealed its new CFO.

Emma Hayes will join the Group from 1 July following the retirement of Graeme Spenceley.

Hayes is currently group finance director, capital delivery and commercial, at Severn Trent, and previously spent 10 years with Deloitte as corporate finance director.

She qualified as a chartered accountant (ACA) with BDO.

Spenceley will remain with Ideagen as company secretary.

Ben Dorks, chief executive of Ideagen, said: “Firstly, the Board would like thank Graeme for his outstanding commitment to Ideagen. His insight, acumen and support over the past 10 years has been invaluable and it has been a great pleasure to work alongside him. We are pleased that Graeme will remain with the business as company secretary which will provide for a robust transition.

“The Board is delighted to welcome Emma to the Group who brings with her a deep understanding of both financial structures and processes and M&A. We will benefit hugely from Emma’s experience and ability as Ideagen continues to execute its global growth strategy.”

Hayes will be issued with options over new Ideagen shares, on terms based on the company’s existing long-term incentive plan, upon her appointment becoming effective.
