Patrick Donovan, new Chief Executive Officer of Axway

To accelerate the Group's transformation plan, Axway's Board of Directors appointed Patrick Donovan as Chief Executive Officer at its meeting on 6 April 2018. Previously serving as Chief Financial Officer, he played a significant role in the success of Axway's spin-off/listing transaction in 2011. Patrick Donovan has in-depth knowledge of Axway's businessmodel as well as the software industry more broadly. Supported by an experienced Executive Committee, in which the Board of Directors has renewed its confidence, and on the commitment of more than 1,800 employees worldwide, Axway aims to pursue the transformation of its strategy and offers to support its 11,000 customers in the success of their digital projects.

Patrick Donovan Axway Chief Executive Officer

Among the strategic focuses identified for 2018, we have decided to step up our investments dedicated to enhancing our product portfolio, and we will work on adjusting our business processes and marketing strategy. The recent acquisition of Syncplicity, a native SaaS provider, bolstered our technological expertise and agility. We now need to anchor ourselves as a facilitator of the digital transformation by stimulating the adoption of our new offers. Axway's new organization, which I am delighted to be leading, will be designed so as to meet our customers' new digital challenges and will naturally gravitate to innovation, especially through our AMPLIFY TM platform. With the support of the management team and the determination of Axway's employees, I am convinced of our ability to become a market leader in Hybrid Integration Platforms by 2020.

Today, Axway is in the middle of its transformation plan and I'm honored by the confidence placed in me by the Group's Board of Directors, which recently appointed me Chief Executive Officer. For more than ten years, I have had the pleasure of taking part in the development of Axway's projects around the world, and I am confident of our ability to achieve our objectives. We will therefore continue the transformation of our business model by focusing on shifting our offers toward the Cloud and our perpetual desire to improve our customers' satisfaction. In order to successfully carry out this transformation while ensuring our company's economic performance, I will be supported by the varied skills of our employees, the added value of our numerous partners, and the long-standing trust of the companies we support on a daily basis.
