According to the company, Jaco’s appointment is a result of a transition plan that was implemented when he took on the COO role in 2019. During his tenure as COO, he has been responsible for the company’s business operations, leading key initiatives, implementing new policies and procedures, Syspro’s financial strategy, and driving the companywide strategy and priorities.
