Syspro has announced Josef Al-Sibaie’s appointment as chief of staff and corporate development officer.
Al-Sibaie will lead Syspro’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy, focusing on high-impact investments that enhance its digital manufacturing suite and strengthen its global footprint. He will also work closely with the senior leadership team to drive execution across sales operations, product and other critical business functions aligned with Syspro’s transformation strategy and shareholder priorities.
Following Advent International’s acquisition of Syspro, the company has moved swiftly to execute its growth strategy. Within the first quarter of ownership, Syspro completed the acquisition of NexSys, a long-standing partner in the UK. This bolsters Syspro’s presence in the UK and will extend its reach across Europe.
The acquisition also enables Syspro to expand its highly regarded digital manufacturing solutions with new products and capabilities, ensuring mid-market manufacturing and distribution organisations can drive automation, visibility, and traceability across their operations.
“Josef’s appointment is a key step in our commitment to accelerating Syspro’s transformation and expansion. His expertise in technology investments and M&A will be instrumental in identifying and executing strategic opportunities that drive growth and innovation. With Josef’s leadership, we are strengthening our position as a global digital manufacturing leader, ensuring we deliver unparalleled value to our customers, partners, and employees,” says Jaco Maritz, CEO of Syspro.
“I am honored to join Syspro at such an exciting time in its growth journey,” says Al-Sibaie. “With Advent’s backing, we have a unique opportunity to scale rapidly through strategic M&A, investing in cutting-edge technology and expanding into key markets. The NexSys acquisition is a testament to our bold vision, and I look forward to driving further strategic initiatives that solidify Syspro’s leadership in digital manufacturing.”
