Appointment comes as company scales for growth.
Leading SAP provider Zag has announced the appointment of Sue Suckling as board chair.
She is a director and chair of several New Zealand-based tech companies including Jade Software and was previously chair of Callaghan Innovation for six years. She brings extensive experience in strategy, governance and leadership to the role at a time when Zag is experiencing strong growth in its SAP services and is set to target new markets.
Zag chief executive Nick Mulcahy said: “Sue has a wealth of experience in tech companies and knows the challenges of taking New Zealand companies offshore. The international experience she brings to the board is of strategic importance to us as we look to both Australia and North America for growth opportunities.”
Mulcahy said Zag is experiencing strong growth driven in part by companies making the shift to S/4HANA before SAP phases out support for older ERPs in 2027. It’s a trend that’s likely to continue with Gartner’s latest Quarterly Spending Forecast predicting software spend in Australia to grow 12.0% to hit $A18 billion, with 12.1% growth in New Zealand taking it to $2.4b.
Suckling said she looks forward to helping Zag achieve its growth goals as Zag expands into Australia.
