Jun 25, 2025 We’re delighted to have Sam Knowles, the founding CEO of KiwiBank, join the Board of Xero.
Sam has supported us from the early days, being a shareholder from our IPO and catching up with us from time to time to share ideas.
Sam replaces our very good friend Guy Haddleton, whose new business Anaplan is taking off in the US. We thank Guy for his contribution over the past four years.
