Temenos, a leading provider of core banking software, has announced the appointment of Jean-Pierre Brulard as its new CEO. Brulard brings with him a wealth of experience from his tenure at VMware, where he held various leadership positions over 14 years, including executive vice president of worldwide sales. His successful management of VMware's transition to a subscription and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, coupled with his extensive operational and strategic planning expertise, impressed the board at Temenos, particularly in light of their ongoing pursuit of a SaaS strategy.
Brulard's appointment comes at a pivotal time for Temenos, as the company continues to focus on its SaaS offerings and adapt to evolving market demands. This transition follows the resignation of Max Chuard, the former CEO, who departed after four years at the helm. Under Brulard's leadership, Temenos aims to capitalize on the growing SaaS opportunity, particularly in the United States, while maintaining its commitment to serving the needs of its global client base. The company remains steadfast in its mission despite recent challenges, including unfounded allegations, which were thoroughly refuted after an independent external review.
