Newcastle, UK—[21st May 2024]—Sapphire, the UK-based pure-play cyber security solutions provider, today announced the appointment of Nadine Errington as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). With Nadine’s extensive financial expertise and strategic acumen in a range of industries, her appointment completes Sapphire’s revamped leadership team.
Nadine is the latest appointment to Sapphire’s executive team, which has been bolstered since Autumn 2023 with the appointment of Ian Thomas as CEO, Charly Davis as Chief Commercial Officer, Gareth Pritchard as Chief Technical Officer, and Claudia Quinton as Chief People Officer. The exec team’s extensive experience in global security practices and knowledge of cyber security and IT services is a solid foundation to support Sapphire’s intended strategic expansion and enhanced client services.
In her new role as CFO, Nadine Errington expressed her enthusiasm for joining Sapphire, stating, “I am thrilled to join Sapphire at such an exciting time in the company’s growth journey. I look forward to working alongside Ian and the team to further strengthen Sapphire’s financial position and drive sustainable growth.”
Sapphire has proved itself one to watch with the recent acquisition of Awen Collective, a Welsh-based OT specialist, and the launch of its Third-Party Risk Management Service powered by Agnostic Intelligence. As a homegrown cyber security business, Sapphire is championing first-time C-level appointments to its board and promoting the homegrown skills that the UK has to offer within the sector.
Reflecting on the exec team, Ian Thomas, CEO of Sapphire, said, “Nadine’s appointment solidifies our commitment to assembling a top-tier leadership team at Sapphire. Her proven track record in diverse sectors will be instrumental as we continue to drive growth and innovation in the cyber security landscape. We are delighted to have her alongside us.”
