The role change will take effect from January 22, 2021, with Jeffrey Lai remaining as a non-executive director for a period following his resignation at CEO, to assist the company where required.
Jeffrey Lai has held the role of CEO for the past four years, where the company says he delivered significant gains from investing, growing and subsequently divesting the cybersecurity business, steering the company towards three years of positive operating cash flow and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) growth.

He has thirty years of experience in the technology sector, and will draw on his successful technology-related deals and global network to assist Vortiv with identifying and evaluating new business opportunities.
