Serko announces CFO transition
Serko Limited (NZX/ASX: SKO) today announces that Chief Financial Officer Shane Sampson will step
down from the role after more than five years, departing Serko in March 2027.
Mr Sampson will continue as CFO for an extended notice period of six months, as part of an orderly
transition and to support the delivery of Serko’s FY27 financial reporting. A comprehensive search to
appoint a new CFO has commenced.
Since joining Serko in October 2021, Mr Sampson has transformed the finance and capital
management function, leaving Serko in outstanding shape to deliver its next phase of growth.
Serko Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Darrin Grafton said: “Shane has been instrumental in
delivering increased financial rigour and capability and has played a critical role in reshaping the
business and its direction. We are seeing strong momentum as we execute on our US-focused
strategy and are well positioned for the future. I thank Shane for his leadership and for his significant
contribution to Serko.
“We will be searching for a successor who will build on this foundation and support the business to
deliver its strategic initiatives and global growth.”
Serko Chief Financial Officer Shane Sampson said: “I leave Serko with confidence in the business, its
leadership and where it’s headed. After five years with Serko, and with the business entering a new
phase, I believe this is the right time to make this transition.
“I’m proud of what our finance and legal teams have achieved together, and the depth of the capability
across Serko. I remain fully committed to the business through to the end of the financial year and to
ensuring a smooth transition.“
