Sainsbury replaces fellow co-founder David Briggs, who served as chief executive for four years between 2018 and 2021, a period in which GeoComply saw its revenue increase by more than 1,500%.
Briggs will now assume a director role, with a special focus on strategic initiatives including the expansion of GeoComply’s cybersecurity services into new markets.
Sainsbury was previously CEO of GeoComply for seven years, after helping to launch the business in 2011.
