success, his in-depth knowledge of our business, his operational and
industry expertise, and his laser focus on helping our customers drive
speed and innovation at their organization,” said Charles Phillips, CEO of
Infor. “Stephan’s leadership has contributed greatly to the recent success
of the company, which includes five consecutive quarters of double-digit
license growth, and I am pleased to recognize him for these outstanding
contributions with the title of President.”

Scholl and Duncan Angove will serve as co-presidents of Infor, with Angove
continuing to lead development and support. Scholl will be based from
Infor’s new headquarters and innovation center in New York’s Silicon Alley
