Marko Perisic and Fabrice Dreneau have joined the Loughborough-headquartered company as chief product and engineering officer (CPEO) and chief customer success officer (CCSO).
Perisic previously worked for Zellis, where he was chief product and technology officer, while Dreneau joins the group following a successful stint as senior vice president at Qlik.
Perisic said: “Everything I have observed about The Access Group points to an incredibly successful business, with many people who feel passionate about software to make customers’ working lives easier – a passion that I also share.”
Dreneau said: “I’m excited to lead Access’ Customer Success on the next stage of its journey in providing the very best service to its customers.
“I look forward to using my expertise to help the company’s growth continue in a direction that benefits everyone – our employees and our customers.”
Access Group CEO Chris Bayne said: “Both of these appointments to our board show our commitment to developing the very best in technology and taking our product, engineering and hosting teams into the next phase of our growth, as well as keeping each of our customers engaged with our products and ensuring they are receiving the best service possible.”
“Marko and Fabrice are already making a hugely positive impact on their teams and the company as a whole”, he added.
The Access Group made headlines last summer when it received fresh investment from its shareholders Hg and TA Associates, valuing the company at around £9.2bn.
