Coventry, England: i-nexus Global plc (AIM: INX), a provider of cloud-based Strategy Execution software solutions for the Global 5000, is pleased to announce the appointment of James Davies as Executive Vice President of Product. As a consequence, James has resigned from his role as Non-executive Director of the Company with immediate effect, stepping into this newly created position. This brings the total number of staff within the Group to 90, representing an increase of 50 per cent. since IPO and remaining in line with the Group’s stated internal investment and expansion strategy.

The search for James’ Board replacement has commenced and the Company intends to strengthen the Board with the appointment of an additional non-executive director in due course.
Simon Crowther, Chief Executive, commented: “We are absolutely delighted that someone of James’ calibre has agreed to join i-nexus in an executive capacity. His advice during the build-up and successful execution of our IPO was invaluable and I am confident that in his hands the vision for our enterprise-grade strategy execution software platform will be successfully implemented.”
