Cordys, a leading provider of software for business process innovation, announced the appointment of Art Landro as Chief Executive Officer.
Art Landro is a senior software executive with broad international experience.

“I am very pleased that Art will lead Cordys and take charge of our growth phase,” says Jan Baan, Chairman of the Board of Cordys. “Art brings the hands-on software experience and drive required to accelerate our revenue growth and take Cordys to the next level.”
“Cordys is maturing and poised for growth as we 'operationalise' the organisation,” Landro comments. “We have positioned ourselves for success with recognition from top-ranking analysts of our innovative Business Operations Platform, reinvigorated our go-to-market channels with comprehensive partner enablement and support programmes, and addressed key vertical solutions for our global customers. Recent customer wins in the financial services, government, communications and utilities industries have confirmed both our strategy and focus for the future. It's great to see how our customers use Cordys to transform and improve their business operations, leverage their existing IT assets and take advantage of the cloud.”
