Kayvan Oboudiyat, previously Joint Chief Executive Officer, moves to the position of Executive Vice Chairman.

As Vice Chairman of the Board he will focus on facilitating a broader interaction between the board and the executive management of the company, and in his role as an executive director he will focus on corporate development initiatives for the CEO.

Changes to the Office of Chief Executive are effective immediately.

The board also accepted the resignation of Bruce Edwards as an Executive of Altium and has re-affirmed its support for him as a Nonexecutive Director, effective immediately.

"With Bruce's extensive experience in the company in the areas of marketing and corporate development, together with his knowledge and experience in the electronics industry, we are keen to see him continue to serve in his new role as Nonexecutive Director", said Carl Rooke, Chairman, Altium.

Edwards has served as a member of the board since 2001.
