Jacqui Cartin has officially started her role as chief financial officer at Sage.

She succeeded Jonathan Powell, who announced his intention to step down in March to focus on his non-executive work.

Cartin moved to Sage in 2018 after previously working at KPMG UK and had most recently been employed at Sage as EVP Group Financial Controller.

Speaking of her new CFO role she said: “Sage is at an important point in its journey, and I’m proud to be part of a leadership team focused on the next phase of growth and transformation.

“We have a significant opportunity ahead, harnessing AI and agentic capabilities to deliver practical, meaningful solutions that help our customers solve real business challenges every day.

“What I’m most looking forward to is continuing to lead and work alongside an exceptional finance team.

“The talent, ambition, and energy across the team is outstanding, and finance will play a critical role in enabling strategy, driving performance, and supporting sustainable, long-term growth.

“As we begin the year, I’m motivated by what’s ahead and excited about what we can achieve together as we continue to build the future of Sage.”
