(“Sugarwork”) via Decidr US, is pleased to announce the appointment of Penny Diamantakiou
as its new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective 12th May 2026. Penny joins Decidr to help

Highlights
● Appointment of Penny Diamantakiou as CFO, effective 12 May 2026, bringing 20+ years
of senior finance leadership across ASX-listed, PE-backed, and globally listed
companies
● Penny brings a strong track record in high-growth technology and SaaS businesses
including Nearmap, WooliesX, Yahoo7!, and SingTel-Optus
● Joining at a pivotal moment in DAI's global growth trajectory, bringing the financial
leadership and commercial discipline required to scale DecidrOS across enterprise
markets
Penny is a highly accomplished financial leader with more than two decades of experience
across ASX-listed, private equity-backed, and globally listed companies. She has held senior
finance leadership roles at Nearmap, WooliesX, Yahoo7!, and SingTel-Optus, with a strong track
record of building and transforming complex multinational businesses across digital, e-
commerce, retail, and technology sectors. Her appointment marks an important milestone in
DAI's evolution, bringing the commercial discipline, M&A expertise, and analytics-driven
decision-making capabilities required to scale DecidrOS globally.
David Brudenell, Executive Chairman, said:
"Penny is an exceptional finance leader with a proven track record across high-growth
technology businesses, major capital transactions, and multiple geographies. Her
appointment strengthens our executive team at a pivotal moment in Decidr's evolution, and I
look forward to the contribution she will make as we deliver value for customers and
shareholders."
Penny Diamantakiou, incoming Chief Financial Officer, DAI, said:
"Decidr is building the orchestration layer that makes enterprise AI actually work — and that
requires a finance function that can scale with the same speed and ambition as the platform
itself. I'm looking forward to working with the team to build the financial foundations that will
support Decidr's next chapter, here in Australia and globally."
Outlook for DAI
DAI is progressing on its 2026 roadmap well, with the continued rollout of DecidrOS,
Sugarwork’s first Australian customer, a robust US pipeline, and new partnerships in the APAC
region.
The appointment of Penny Diamantakiou (Chief Financial Officer, DAI), along with Eric Chu
(Chief Product & Technology Officer, Sugarwork) and Brad Gray (Managing Director, Asia,
Decidr.ai) gives Decidr the executive depth required to execute its global growth strategy with
pace. Following our A$15m capital raise, the company looks to execute on Sugarwork's
Knowledge Security platform and continues to assess inorganic growth opportunities.
