Bent Faurskov, incoming CFO of Agillic, comments:

“I am very impressed with Agillic's advanced omnichannel software solution with built-in AI and integration options for the clients’ own data and IT systems. Agillic adds great value to the business of its clients in terms of increased sales, higher conversion rates and reduced churn. I look very much forward to start as CFO, and to assist in the further international scale-up of the Agillic platform, as well as to unleash the significant potential of Agillic. I strongly believe that I can contribute to Agillic's continued growth and internationalisation with my experience from international business development and expansion of SaaS companies.”

Emre Gürsoy, CEO of Agillic, comments:

“I am excited to welcome Bent Faurskov to Agillic where he will undoubtedly make an immediate impact as we accelerate our internationalisation efforts of the Company across the board. Further, I am particularly impressed with Bent’s broad financial competencies, stretching from stock market experience to growth driven financial operational management in complex, industry-leading technology businesses. We operate in a highly demanding business environment and I see Bent as a strong partner to our Management Group in identifying potential synergies, transformation and value-creation opportunities. I believe that Bent and our entire Agillic team have an inspiring chance to establish a scalable and flexible structure on our growth journey.”

Christian Tange, current CFO of Agillic, comments:

“It has been a pleasure being part of Agillic's financial and commercial development following the Company's IPO on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark, including the Company recently reporting a positive EBITDA for the first half of 2020. However, I have, for some time considered moving to a position where I, to a higher degree, may utilize my investment experience in combination with my operational experience. On this background, I will as per 1 October 2020 start as Partner in the investment company Dain Partners that is working with a unique combination of capital investments and extensive operational involvement.”
