CARDIFF, United Kingdom, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — We’re delighted to share that Mike Hills has joined Atamis as our new Chief Executive Officer.
Mike brings nearly twenty years of experience growing SaaS businesses, scaling teams, and delivering for customers. He shares our deep commitment to innovation, client success, and delivering exceptional value. Mike joins us focused on building on Atamis’s strengths as we grow into our next chapter.
A few words from Mike: “I’m hugely excited to be joining Atamis. This is a business that customers genuinely value, with a team that really cares and serious ambition to build on an already strong foundation. It’s an attractive combination and I’m looking forward to meeting our customers and partners, understanding what matters most to them, and working together to deliver even more value in the years ahead.”
Mike’s appointment reflects continued investment in Atamis’ growth by its owner, Banyan Software. Julie Koegenboeg, Head of Northern Europe at Banyan Software, said: “Atamis has been able to establish a leading position in the UK public sector with its procurement solution that covers the full source-to-contract lifecycle. Next to the public sector, Atamis is also trusted by major private sector clients. This is a testament to Atamis’ commitment to best-in-class service and continuous product development. We look forward to Atamis’ continued growth path and are confident Mike will play a key role in delivering it.”
