PERFORM joint-CEO Oliver Slipper stands down
Slipper takes up an non-executive director position with the firm but will "pursue other opportunities" outside of the industry
PERFORM Group joint-chief executive Oliver Slipper (pictured) has stood down from his role with immediate effect leaving Simon Denyer as the sole CEO.
In a statement release this morning, the sports content provider confirmed Slipper’s decision although added the PERFORM co-founder would remain with the firm in an non-executive director role.
Slipper founded PERFORM with Denyer in 2007 following the merger of Premium TV and Inform Group and has helped grow the company into a 1,500-strong organisation spanning 26 countries.
The company recently de-listed from the public market after the completion of its takeover by major shareholder Access Industries, a deal which valued the firm at around £700m.
Slipper will “pursue other opportunities” outside of the industry and has backed Denyer to make the most of the opportunities that lay ahead.
“Led by Simon and a superbly talented senior management team, PERFORM has an incredible chance to continue to transform the market,” Slipper said.
“The breadth and range of opportunities in front of the company have never been greater and, as both a shareholder and Board member, I am excited to be part of its next phase of growth,” he added.
