Till Spillmann was elected as new independent Chairman of SoftwareOne, succeeding Daniel von Stockar, who was re-elected as a member of the Board.

Guiding the company from its founding through significant milestones – including the past five years as a public company and our transformation into a leading global provider of software and cloud solutions – has been an incredible journey, and it is deeply rewarding to see SoftwareOne now poised for a new future together with Crayon. This is the right moment for a transition, and I am pleased to hand over to Till Spillmann as our new independent Chairman. I am confident that he will lead with clarity and perseverance as SoftwareOne embarks on this next chapter.” Till Spillmann, new Chairman of the Board of Directors of SoftwareOne, said “I am grateful to the shareholders, to Daniel and to the Board for the trust they have placed in me. It is a privilege to take on the role of independent Chairman at this pivotal time for SoftwareOne. The combination with Crayon represents a major opportunity to build a global leader in the fast-growing market for software, cloud, data and AI. On behalf of the Board of Directors and everyone at SoftwareOne, I would like to thank Daniel for his relentless commitment as Chairman. As we continue to benefit from his deep experience, I look forward to working closely with all of the combined Board and leadership team as we shape the future of the company together.” Shareholder also approved all other proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at today’s AGM.
