With the departure of long-standing CFO Ian Tichias to pursue other opportunities, Xaar has appointed Paul James as Interim CFO and Executive Director. Mr James has extensive experience: Group CFO of Biffa (Sept 2023-Oct 2024), Group CFO of Genuit Group plc (Mar 2018-Sept 2023), following senior financial roles with Dixons Carphone, Inchcape, British American Tobacco and Ernst and Young. We are reminded of the Boy Scouts principle to ‘try to leave this world a little better than you found it’. Mr Tichias joined Xaar as CFO and Board Director in March 2020, and has seen the company through a period of significant change. Latest results point to improved progress, with revenue from new printhead products +24% Y/Y and a 26% CAGR for new product revenue since 2019. We wish Ian well.
