Meet Gary Turner: Mazuma’s New Board Boss
Yesterday, Mazuma rolled out a big‑picture announcement: they’ve added Gary Turner, the former UK chief officer of cloud‑accounting titan Xero, to their Board of Directors. If you’re a micro‑business owner craving a smoother get‑fiscal‑done experience, this hires mean a sign of exciting times ahead.
Why This Matters
- Massive investor boost – In January, they secured a multi‑million‑pound injection from Innovation Investment Capital (IIC), a move that’s set the stage for stellar growth.
- Lucy Cohen’s new role – The co‑founder took the CEO’s seat at the same time as the funding, spotlighting fresh leadership.
- Long‑standing disruption – Founded in 2006, Mazuma has been a pioneering force in micro‑business accounting, offering an inventive subscription model and a proprietary MazApp© platform that easily plugs into an accountant’s skill set.
Meet Gary Turner
Gary was instrumental in launching Xero’s UK operations. Ever since, he’s steered the platform to over four million users worldwide. With a 12‑year tenure on Xero’s top brass and 20 years of executive chops in tech, ops, and strategy, his board addition is a game‑changer.
What Mazuma’s Co‑Founder Says
Lucy Cohen, the co‑founder and CEO, gushes about the synergy:
“What excites me most about having Gary join our Board is how aligned we are in vision and purpose. We’re all about slashing the accounting load so our customers can focus on growing their businesses.”
“Gary’s growth journey mirrors ours at Mazuma, and I’m thrilled he’s bringing his expertise to help steer our plans.”
Gary’s Own Words
Gary’s enthusiasm is just as loud:
“I’m delighted to be joining an organization whose values resonate so closely with mine. The UK’s six million small and micro‑businesses form the backbone of our economy; many struggle to find the support they need.”
“I’ve long admired Mazuma’s focus here, and I’m excited to work with Lucy, the board, and the executive team to magnify our impact on this vital sector.”
Looking Ahead
Lucy, backed by Chief Revenue Officer Emma Crawford‑Falekaono and Chief Product/Technology Officer David Morris, cranks up the excitement:
“A business with our ambitions needs an amazing team to get things done. With Gary on board plus Emma and David’s recent appointments, we’re poised to accelerate growth and refine our client service. I can’t wait to see what comes next.”
