Softomotive Gets a New Chairman—And a Big Dose of Experience
Softomotive, the RPA trailblazer, has just added former Sage Group chief Guy Berruyer to its board as Chairman. The company, founded in 2005, has already won the hearts of over 8,000 customers around the globe and pulled in a $25 million Series A round last September to keep the momentum pumping.
Who’s Guy Berruyer, Anyway?
Picture a man who once turned an accounting software legacy into a subscription powerhouse and did it for a company that sits at the top of the FTSE‑100 charts. That’s Guy. He’s also chaired Linaro, sat on the boards of Berger Levrault and Meggitt PLC, and now offers senior counsel to Warburg Pincus. Fancy résumé, right?
Why He’s a Good Fit for Softomotive
- Guy says the RPA arena is “a new frontier of innovation and growth opportunity.” He’s not just eyeing the future—he’s ready to jump into it.
- He’s already impressed by the co‑founders: Marios Stavropoulos (CEO) and Argyris Kaninis (COO). The dynamic duo’s vision? A people‑first, bottom‑up RPA model that lets everyday users wield automation like a superhero tool.
- Softomotive’s workforce has doubled in the past year and is poised to double again. They’re expanding from London to New York (HQ at One World Trade Center), while cultivating a strong presence in Greece, India, and eyeing new offices across Continental Europe and APAC.
A Quick Peek at the Leaders’ Words
Guy Berruyer: “I’m excited to mentor and share my experience as Softomotive transforms at lightning speed.”
Marios Stavropoulos: “The traditional RPA playbook is insufficient. We’re flipping it with a People 1st approach that empowers the end user.”
Argyris Kaninis: “We’re scaling, investing aggressively, and expanding globally—full steam ahead!”
In short, Softomotive is entering an exhilarating phase with Guy steering the ship. If you’re into RPA or just love seeing technology teams grow from the inside out, keep your eyes peeled—things are about to get really interesting.
