PME Appoints Anthony Glenning as Director

[ASX: PME] today announced the appointment of Mr Anthony Glenning as a Non- Executive Director, effective 1 May 2016.

At last year’s AGM the Chairman indicated that the Board intended appointing another Non-Executive Director with complementary skills.

He has a background in engineering and holds a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, along with Bachelors’ degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the University of Melbourne.

Mr Glenning was the founder and CEO of Tonic Systems, a company that developed software for creating and managing online presentations, which was sold to Google in 2007. The software was integrated into Google’s online corporate software – Google Docs, with Anthony working for Google at the Googleplex headquarters in the two years following the acquisition.

Mr Glenning was also a founding non- executive director of Cameron Systems, a company providing software solutions to financial businesses until it was acquired by Orc Software in 2006.

Mr Glenning joined investment firm Starfish Ventures in 2010 where he is currently an Investment Director and sits on the boards of a number of Starfish portfolio companies.

The Board welcomes Anthony to the company and looks forward to working with him.
