Four additions to the team, and newly created roles for growth.
Salford-based ProofID has unveiled four new members on its executive leadership team. Scott Leiper serves as non-executive chairman, and Heather Chatten, John Iandolo and Krishnendu DasGupta join the team with three newly created roles as chief people officer (CPO), chief revenue officer (CRO) and senior VP of managed services, respectively. Former chairman, Gareth Noonan remains on the board of directors and takes up the newly created role of chief strategy officer (CSO).
In May 2022, Maven Capital Partners invested £15 million in ProofID to accelerate its growth ambitions and an integral part of the strategy was focussed on creating the right team for the challenges ahead. Moving forward the new hires bring a complementary set of skills to the company.
Scott Leiper has 30 years’ experience helping IT companies sustainably grow and develop leadership teams. He was previously COO of Amor Group where he helped double the size of the business and sell it to Lockheed Martin. As chair of Incremental Group, he worked with the team to build a £40 million revenue business which was acquired by Telefonica in March 2022 for up to £175 million.
Heather Chatten began her HR career with Unilever and has extensive experience of employee relations and engagement, remuneration and benefits, recruitment and organizational development. She and has an MBA from Manchester Business School and has been working with ProofID since 2019 on a consultancy basis but has joined full time to lead the company’s efforts to attract, develop and retain talent to support growth plans.
John Iandolo has held leadership roles for over 25 years in IT businesses. Prior to joining ProofID, he worked predominantly in private equity backed businesses. He has a track record of growth, innovation, and strategic change management through high-performance teams
Krishnendu DasGupta has significant experience in setting up managed services teams in new geographies and establishing full cycle operational processes for service delivery to large global enterprises. He spent 14 of his 25+ years in the industry working for Cisco.
In December, ProofID announced strong growth for FY2022 – annual turnover grew to £16.6 million for the year to September 30, 2022, a 36% increase in turnover on FY2021 when revenues reached £12.2 million.
“This year promises to be an exciting year of evolution for ProofID – we have a strong foothold in the marketplace from which to grow and the right talent in our team to make it happen,” explains Tom Eggleston, CEO, ProofID.
“With Maven Capital’s financial investment and a team of highly skilled individuals, it feels like we have the world at our feet – I’m truly excited to work alongside such a great bunch of people to take ProofID to the next level.”
