Civica’s CEO Wayne Story is stepping down from his post and is passing the torch to the company’s new leader, Lee Perkins, who joined as UK CEO in October.
Before joining Civica in 2015 as CEO, Story (pictured) was Group CEO for the PE-backed technology-led business services and payments group Equiniti.
Civica Founder and Group Chair, Simon Downing, said: “During his tenure, Wayne significantly expanded Civica's global reach and increased our software product capability, whilst at the same time retaining our unique culture and values.”
The firm's new CEO Perkins has held a number of senior positions in the UK technology sector over the past two decades including UK MD and latterly Group COO at Sage, CEO M247 and, earlier in his career, UK MD of Techdata.
Downing added: “As a seasoned executive, his experience of operating international software businesses at scale and leading transformation programmes, particularly around SaaS and go-to-market, means he’s well placed to build on our strong foundations, as we accelerate our growth in 2023 and beyond.
