John Innes, Chief Executive Officer
John comes from an interesting and varied background having kicked off his career in the London music business before moving into the leisure industry. Subsequently he has gained over 25 years leadership experience in the oil and gas and information technology sectors. During this time he developed expertise in corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, profit and loss management and sales and marketing.
In 2005 John sold the Aberdeen-based oil and gas information services specialist business, Pragma, to Sword Group (NYSE Euronext: SWP) in a multi-million pound deal. He remained with Sword, overseeing numerous global acquisitions and had accountability for the UK and USA solutions business, which had a combined turnover of £100m.
In May 2009 John led the management buy out of Sword’s UK solutions businesses in a £30m transaction with Scott Leiper (COO) and David Blyth (CFO). Today, as CEO, he is accountable for Amor Group’s strategy to achieve £60m revenue by 2012 in business technology solutions and services for the energy, transport and public sectors.
