Class appoints Chief Technology Officer

SMSF software provider Class has announced the appointment of Dan Coutts as chief technology officer (CTO).

Coutts was previously the firm's head of development, having joined Class in December 2018 from the role of CTO at Visual Risk.

Of his new role, Coutts said: "I am honoured to join Andrew [Russell] and the Class team to build on our trusted technology platform to deliver growth, efficiency and simplicity for our customers."

Coutts is one of three new appointees to Class' senior team, with former CBA general manager of customer remediation and digital, Jason Wilson, joining as chief product and marketing officer, and former Salesforce executive, James Delmar , joining as chief sales officer.

Commenting on all three, Class chief executive, Andrew Russell, said: "These strategic, high level appointments are an important milestone in implementing our 'reimagination' strategy using new cloud-based technologies which will enable accountants, administrators and financial planners to better automate and reduce costs in their back office."
