In addition to the new role, Mr. Archer also will become a member of the Nominations Committee, whilst remaining a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Archer originally joined Fidessa’s board back in 2014 as a non-executive director. He also has been active on other boards including a role as Chairman of Gresham Computing plc.
