Syrenis marks 25th anniversary with strategic appointments
Amid a global spotlight on data protection and evolving privacy regulations, Syrenis – the consent and preference management specialist behind the market-leading SaaS platform Cassie – marks its 25th anniversary with key strategic announcements. With data privacy dominating headlines and regulators calling for stronger safeguards, the company has bolstered its leadership by appointing Martin Audcent as CFO and Paul Glynn as CSO, following Adam Binks’ recent appointment as CEO.
Recognised as an industry leader by Gartner, Syrenis has rapidly built global momentum by powering consent and preference management for brands that collectively oversee over 1.2 billion customer records, including in the pharmaceutical, financial, and automotive sectors. Proudly based in the North of England—at a time when government initiatives are actively expanding tech innovation beyond traditional hubs like London, Cambridge, and Oxford—Syrenis remains true to its roots while delivering unrivaled customer value worldwide. Under visionary new leadership, the company is poised for even greater global impact, setting an ambitious target to more than double the revenue of the company in the next five years.
“At Syrenis, data privacy is more than a regulatory mandate—it’s the engine driving our next wave of innovation, beyond compliance,” Binks said. “As we welcome visionary leaders like Martin and Paul, we’re not just expanding our team; we’re redefining the standard for secure, agile consent management. We are pioneers in the space and our purpose is to empower Fortune 500 companies to transform data protection into a strategic advantage, setting a new industry benchmark in this digital-first era.”
