As Francis “Mad Frankie” Maude’s right-hand man, Kelly was instrumental in the rise of the Government Digital Service, architects of the one-size-mangles-all GOV.UK uberpresence.
[11], He left his role with the Government in November 2014 to join FTSE 100 multinational enterprise software company, Sage Group, where he was Sage's first externally appointed CEO. https://t.co/ILtJXsJoRJ, — Stephen Kelly (@SKellyCEO) August 30, 2018, A great opportunity for @sageuk customers, colleagues & partners to #MakeYourMark by signing up for our charity 6km run/jog/walk in #Newcastle on Saturday 15th Sept. For every person that signs up, £5 goes to 1 of our charity partners. He is, however, a safe pair of hands who can bring stability at a time when the company has undergone a degree of upheaval. But unless I am very much mistaken, elevating a finance guy into the CEO slot is not something Sage will want to do. In June this year, Kelly took the shears to management, firing 30 senior execs. The indictment stops short of... Salesforce has released a major update for its Work.com platform.
In his parting statement, Kelly referred to cloud ARR at £386 million.
The real problem was that despite R&D's best efforts, Sage simply couldn't outgun Xero in particular, which, by that stage had all but won the U.K. market for micro businesses.
Which is good news as a further decline in growth would have been bad news. In my opinion, Kelly has done a very successful job in transforming Sage from where it was but has never quite completed that transformation. We were hopeful and by July 2016, Derek duPreez spoke with an optimistic Kelly who said: We will never force migrate customers. The group is on track to deliver its targeted revenues for the full year with 7% organic revenue growth and around 27.5% organic operating margin.
In short, that should have been significantly accretive to the business but the overall results suggest otherwise. After five years, Robinson has made precious little progress other than finally acquiring Kashflow in 2013 and then, by all accounts, promptly screwing it up with a messy UI refresh. But that person would also need a very good operations person skilled in completing the business model transformation. In addition, the Sage Foundation is living proof that companies can make a difference across their communities. The company said that Kelly will remain available until until May, 2019 while Sage hunts for a replacement. Stephen Kelly, the UK government's former chief operating officer, became Group CEO in November 2014. At the moment, anything that's said is somewhat speculative but a few facts are worth noting: Kelly rode into Sage just shy of four years ago with a clear mandate to shake up the company.
