Manaccom’s James Mackay steps down as CEO

He will continue with Manaccom in a consulting capacity for a short period and non-executive director, Ian Mackay will resume the role he vacated in 2007.

Manaccom Corporation Limited chairman, David Barwick, also announced that Ian Mackay has been appointed deputy chairman of Manaccom Corporation Limited. He commented that Ian Mackay's extensive experience meant he was very well placed to step into the acting CEO position for Manaccom Pty Limited.

“Ian Mackay has been involved in the Australian software industry for more than three decades so he is very well placed to once again lead the software publishing and distribution division while we evaluate filling the position on a permanent basis,” Barwick said.

Barwick thanked James Mackay for his contribution to Manaccom Pty Ltd, and said that his extensive experience and industry knowledge have been of crucial importance to the Company.

Although only appointed to the CEO position last year, James Mackay has been with Manaccom for fourteen years and has helped shape the significant growth and development of the company, especially in the last five years. His achievements include the 2003 re-branding of the company, Manaccom’s expansion into distributing items other than software, and the development of the important software site licensing department.

James Mackay said it was a privilege to have had the opportunity to serve as CEO of a forward-thinking and dynamic company.
