SaaS finance specialist joins software analytics firm Tiger as CFO

Workplace data analytics organisation Tiger has appointed Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) strategy leader Vicky Staley as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Former ICSA Software International CFO Vicky Staley has more than 20 years of business technology expertise and was most recently international director of finance for Boats Group – which owns and operates the leading online boating marketplaces around the world.

Staley will play a major role in overhauling the Hampshire-headquartered company’s processes and systems.

The company said it is on track to secure 80 new subscription contracts by the end of 2021. Additionally, the organisation has launched the latest version of its workplace analytics software product, Tiger Prism.

Staley said: “This is a truly exciting time to be joining a progressive company that is creating demand around the importance of why leaders must now understand – and unlock – workplace data. Being able to provide critical business context will help them to enhance productivity, performance, and engagement.

“I’m incredibly passionate about data analytics software and it’s been heartening to know how much the team values the role finance will play in how we progress our tech innovation, and further streamline Tiger’s processes and systems.”

Tiger CEO Jon Pickering added: “Welcoming Vicky to the team – at a time when workplace data analytics has never been more in demand – marks a significant milestone in our growth trajectory.

“Tiger has gone through a huge transformation in 2021 – transitioning from a business that largely sold on-premise technology to focusing on recurring revenue, subscription-based and agile Software-as-a-Service model. Vicky has critical experience in this area, and will therefore play an integral part in how we deliver long-term value to our customers.”
