Checkit taps Kit Kyte for CEO

Checkit noted on Monday that since joining Checkit as its chief commercial officer on 1 February, Kyte had overseen a "significant transformation" of its growth Function - including a tripling of the prospective pipeline in its Checkit Connect unit.

The AIM-listed group added that chairman Keith Daley decided to progressively step back from his executive role over a handover period of six months as a result of Kyte's appointment.

Daley said: "This was the result of a comprehensive selection process which included a total of 165 internal and external candidates being assessed and 60 interviews taking place.

"Having worked with Kit during the past five months I have been impressed with his drive, strategic insight, practical approach and early sales successes."

As of 0930 BST, Checkit shares were up 2.36% at 58.35p.
