Instaclustr, delivering reliability at scale through fully managed open-source data technologies, announced that Geoff Richardson has joined the global company as Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Geoff will lead Instaclustr’s financial team and hold additional operational responsibilities. Instaclustr SVP Finance Evita Davies has also been promoted to Deputy CFO and will work closely with Geoff.
Geoff comes to Instaclustr’s executive leadership team bringing more than two decades of CFO experience steering financial operations at ASX200 companies. He served as CFO of SAI Global, the global risk management company operating in 30 countries. He navigated the enterprise’s finances through a period of rapid growth as SAI’s valuation increased ten-fold over 10 years, ultimately leading to a $1 billion acquisition by Baring Private Equity Asia. He also brings extensive M&A experience to his new role, having completed more than 20 domestic and international acquisitions that contributed to SAI Global’s growth. Most recently, he served as the interim CFO at Macquarie Telecom Group, one of Australia’s leading data center, cloud, and telecom companies, and before that had been the Interim CEO and CFO at Ardent Leisure, the Sydney-based leisure and entertainment asset group.
