The board comprises leaders from diverse industries and regions, ensuring a broad perspective on technological advancements and market trends.

In another key appointment, Rob Machin, a former COO of Endava, has returned to the leadership team as Chief People and Locations Officer. He will concentrate on nurturing Endava’s engineering culture and leveraging AI technologies to enhance productivity and deliver value in complex modernization projects. Rob succeeds David Churchill, who has stepped down as Chief People Officer.

Commenting on the changes, John Cotterell said, “These updates mark an exciting new chapter for Endava. I am delighted to welcome Alastair Lukies as our Chief Engagement Officer—his leadership will be pivotal as we strengthen stakeholder relationships and accelerate our AI-led growth. I’m equally pleased to see Rob Machin rejoin the executive team in a role that underscores our focus on people and engineering excellence. I also want to thank Julian Bull and David Churchill for their years of dedicated contributions. With this renewed leadership team, I’m confident about the opportunities ahead.”
