Sustainability Management – SAS Australia & New Zealand Establishes New Role – Makes New Senior Level Appointment

SYDNEY, Australia  (10 Feb 2009)  –  The local arm of SAS, the leader in business analytics software and the largest independent business intelligence vendor, has announced the appointment of Warren Donnelly as head of Sustainability Management, SAS Australia & New Zealand. The appointment to this newly established role is effective immediately and Mr Donnelly continues to be based at the company’s regional head office in Sydney.

Warren Donnelly joined SAS in 2007 and was most recently solution manager, Performance Management, SAS Australia & New Zealand. His new and more senior position addresses the gathering global imperative to be able to predict and respond to environmental, social and economic risks and opportunities across both public and private sector organisations.

Donnelly has already taken the lead in successfully introducing the SAS® for Sustainability Management solution to the education sector. To-date, many Australian universities which are SAS customers, have expressed formal interest in adopting the solution.

Announcing this new appointment, SAS Australia and New Zealand managing director Gordon Clubb said, “Already an accomplished practitioner with the Sustainability Management solution, Warren’s background in both corporate performance management and senior financial roles make him superbly well qualified for his important new responsibilities.

He added, “Sustainability and Green IT will not be looked at in isolation in the coming years. Organisations will need to understand the impact on corporate goals and objectives more and more – not simply if green targets are being met”.

Before joining SAS, Donnelly spent seven years with Sun Microsystems and five with Compaq/Digital. Earlier, he held CFO and other senior financial positions throughout APAC in Venture Capital funding, Manufacturing, Advertising and IT.

He is a Fellow Certified Practicing Accountant and holds marketing, business and economics degrees from Macquarie University.
