Kainos Group plc (KNOS), a UK-headquartered IT provider with expertise across three divisions, Digital Services, Workday Services, and Workday Products, today confirms that Russell Sloan has assumed the role of CEO of Kainos.

Russell Sloan, CEO of Kainos, commented:

"I would like to thank everyone for the good wishes they have extended to me over the last three months.  Throughout my career in Kainos I have always been excited about the future, and I look forward to working with our colleagues, customers, partners and all our stakeholders in developing the opportunities that lie ahead."

Tom Burnet, Chairperson of Kainos:

"I commend Russell and Brendan on the professional nature of the handover process, and as a Board we look forward to supporting Russell as he leads Kainos into the future.  We also extend our thanks to Brendan for his leadership over the past twenty-two years and for the ongoing assistance that he will provide Kainos until June 2024."
