Janison founder Wayne Houlden to become Vice Chair of Janison Board

Janison Education Group Limited (ASX:JAN) (“Janison” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce Wayne Houlden, the founder of Janison , is to be appointed the Vice Chair of the Janison Board with immediate effect.

As part of this appointment, Mr Houlden will spend time focusing on strategic customer and partner relationships around the world, including continuing Janison’s strong relationship with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD), and on thought leadership activities in schools and the higher education sector, including on advisory boards in the United Kingdom. He will spend a proportion of time in Australia and overseas (once Australia’s COVID-19 international restrictions are lifted) developing and supporting the strategic and partner relationships.

Mr Houlden founded Janison in 1998 and is regarded as a market shaper and thought leader internationally in education technology, and whose pioneering solutions continue to transform how education and assessment is delivered in Australia and beyond. His award-winning national education portals, learning management systems and digital assessment platforms are used in more than 100 countries and have been recognised by Google and Microsoft.

In more recent years, Mr Houlden has focused on significant expansion of Janison’s Assessment business. He was instrumental in winning and delivering world-first national schools assessment projects, including NAPLAN Online in 2018 and national exams for the Singapore Examinations Assessment Board (SEAB), as well as forging the Company’s partnership with the OECD, and winning Janison’s most recent contracts to deliver remotely proctored university exams for the University of London and university admissions exams for SCIO in the Czech Republic amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

As part of this appointment, Mr Houlden is stepping away from his day-to-day executive duties as Commercial Director within Janison. Mr Houlden said: “I’m very pleased to make this shift to a new strategic role. I have full confidence in our new CEO David Caspari and the steps he is taking to see the Company reach new heights. I believe the plans Mr Caspari has put in place, and the experienced and energised team he has assembled, will ensure Janison’s growing business success.”

Mr Caspari said: “We are extremely happy that Mr Houlden has entrusted us with the day-to-day running of the business while remaining actively engaged on external activities. This is a great sign of endorsement of Janison’s direction. Further, given Wayne’s deep knowledge of the business and also the sector, I will continue to seek counsel from him on M&A strategy, the vision for the Company and in other areas. We look forward to continuing to expand on Mr Houlden’s immense and historymaking contribution not only to the Company, but to the entire international education technology sector.”

Mr Houlden has no intention of changing his shareholding position and will continue to remain a significant shareholder in the Company.
