As part of our continued growth, a number of changes have been made to Pagabo Group’s executive leadership, including the appointment of Amman Boughan as group CEO – taking over the role from co-founder Simon Toplass.
From 1 April 2026, Simon steps into an executive founder role for the group, while Jason Stapley – Pagabo’s other founding member – will continue in a chief procurement officer role for the procurement business. The move will see both Simon and Jason refocus their efforts on new strategic growth opportunities – such as Pagabo’s recently announced HealthTrust Europe agreement.
Prior to joining Pagabo Group in 2024, Amman has played vital roles in several businesses, leveraging data and digital in the transformation of regulated business, including in energy and healthcare, supporting public sector outcomes across both B2B and B2C markets.
Speaking about the changes, Amman, said: “Taking on the baton comes at an incredibly exciting time for the business, and that’s why our whole senior management team has been repositioned. It’s not about my position alone, but what we can do together in this new structure to shape tomorrow. Digital is in our DNA, and our mission is to integrate technology, data and network partners to transform built environment investments into positive outcomes for people, places and the planet.
“There is a huge supply of capital deployment from central government across multiple sectors right now. So, there’s big opportunities – not just purely form a project perspective but also in unlocking the maximum value from that investment. Through effective use of quality data, projects can progress from pipeline to delivery more effectively, with less risk and greater impact return for communities, meaning everyone at every stage benefits.
“Simon and Jason will continue to play an integral role in our future journey, while new faces and focuses bring even more innovation and power behind driving the group, our category-leading products and our services forwards. Our ambition is grand, and whether it’s this data-led approach or the development of new partnerships, products or ways of collaborating with our compatriots to better the industry, communities and the future as a whole – we’re ready to get to work, together.”
The new senior structure solidifies Pagabo Group’s direction of travel built over recent years, maturing into the digital led organisation we are today – with that capability having been bolstered by the appointment of Dave Stott as chief technology officer in late 2025. Through our increasing use of data across procurement, contract management and social value, Pagabo Group’s business units are supporting clients, partners, and supply chain to manage their risk, create value and build stability in their own businesses through established pipelines, performance management and long-term visibility and planning.
Our senior management board also includes Chris Slinn – whose chief revenue officer role will now be leading on the group’s digital offering – and newly-appointed chief financial officer Hannah Norbu, who takes over responsibilities from Amman.
Our executive founder Simon Toplass said: “Our history goes back to 2013 with the founding of Pagabo, before incorporating a group of companies in 2021 to bring Sypro and Loop into the fold and link together procurement, contract management and social value measurement processes for clients and supply chain. Growth over those years has been huge, and the business now has 100 staff across the three units – all aligned going into this next chapter of digital innovation and leadership.
“When we founded Pagabo, it was to simplify public sector procurement – namely making it faster, more compliant and more effective. We’ve had great success in doing just that, while pushing a greater focus on social value in the process – and so much more. We’ve not rested on our laurels and have continually innovated across the wider group – whether it’s completely new framework concepts or really forging a path with quality digital tools and use of data.
“The future vision absolutely has that informed innovation front of mind – but doing so from a position that benefits every stakeholder involved in the built environment. Amman and the new executive team are now in the perfect position to push forward with that vision – and I can’t wait to see what we all achieve in this next chapter for Pagabo Group.”
