Sabio’s Chief Executive Officer, Andy Roberts commented,
“With Sabio growing strongly both organically and through acquisitions such as our recent addition of the DatapointEurope business, it’s essential that we have an experienced Group Board in place to support our ongoing expansion strategy,”
“Russell Sheldon has spent the last 10-15 years developing and growing high performance organisations, with a particular focus on applying transformative technologies to create successful digital business operations, while – as CFO – Troels Henriksen has an impressive background in terms of acquiring and integrating businesses.
“Both have a proven track record of success in building and shaping operational organisations to accelerate global reach and revenues – exactly complementing Sabio’s global ambitions. Their appointments significantly strengthen the company’s Group Board,” continued Andy.
