Swiss technology firm Software One is bolstering its board with an ex-UBS director as well as a software entrepreneur.
The Stans, Switzerland-based firm is proposing Isabelle Romy and Adam Warby for its board at a shareholder meeting on May 20, it said in a statement on Friday. Romy is a prominent Swiss banking lawyer and partner at Froriep, while Warby is a software start-up founder.
Romy is well-known as a board director at UBS, where she stepped down suddenly last year before her tenure ended – a move likely tied to the fact that her husband, also a lawyer, led two outside investigations at Credit Suisse into spying on top executives.
Warby is a founding member of Avanade, a joint technology venture of Microsoft and Accenture which he ran until last year. Software One said Chairman Daniel von Stockar as well as directors René Gilli, Peter Kurer, ex-chairman of UBS, Marie-Pierre Rogers, Jean-Pierre Saad, José Alberto Duarte, and Timo Ihamuotila will stand for reelection.
