Aferian plc announced the following changes to its Board of Directors. Bruce Powell MBE has been appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Powell has accumulated extensive board-level experience over more than 30 years.

He is currently Chairman of packaging companies Threadless Closures Ltd, and Crateight Ltd, and of Holyport College. His previous roles include 18 years on the board of Kofax plc and serving as CFO for Imagination Technologies plc. Steve Oetegenn has been appointed as an Executive Director of the Group as President of the Americas.

Oetegenn has been supporting the Aferian executive management team in a consultancy capacity since joining the Board in January 2021. He will now take on a leadership role to support the growth of Aferian in this key region. As a result, Oetegenn has stepped down from his role as Non-Executive Director.

As previously announced, Erika Schraner stepped down from her Board position effective 29 July 2022. Following these changes, the Board will comprise three Non-Executive Directors and three Executive Directors. The Group remains focussed on improving the diversity of its Board and carefully considers a broad range of candidates ahead of any appointment.
