Aconex
, the Melbourne, Australia-based SaaS construction collaboration technology provider, has appointed a new chairman. Simon Yencken, who succeeded the then embattled Martin Hosking in June 2011, has stepped down (but will remain a director) and Adam Lewis (right), a non-executive director since November 2011, is the new chairman.
Today’s boardroom reshuffle announcement has also seen Keith Geeslin, a partner at Aconex investor Francisco Partners, elected as a director in place of his Francisco colleague Petri Oksanen who had served on the Aconex board since 2012.
The company was rumoured last week to be preparing to float on the Australian Stock Exchange.
