Chris Gregg 🚀 ha compartido estoToday, we have announced that Lightyear will be joining The Access Group, subject to regulatory approval. This is a great milestone for my team and our customers. We launched Lightyear in 2018 and our team have managed to grow the business to a market leader, through unprecedented times. We help more than 10,000 business process more than $20 Billion USD of payables, something we are very proud of. My first thank you is to the MVP’s, my team both present and past. Particular thanks to the OG’s, I won’t name you all but you know who you are. I wake up every day excited to get to work and that’s because of the people around me. Hard working, innovative and kind - I couldn’t ask for more. I’ll continue to push you, as you continue to push me. Second thank you to our customers and partners - Many of whom I know personally. You have been generous with your feedback, and patient with our development. We appreciate your continued support. Third thank you to the ecosystem, the accounting and Fintech communities which we thrive in. It’s a unique environment where we all collectively share a purpose of helping businesses achieve more. We appreciate your support. Fourth - The Access Group and Claire Carter , thank you for believing in our vision and supporting us to take Lightyear to new highs. Lastly, but not least. A special thank you to my extended family and friend network who have stood by us, provided counsel when needed and supported the home life. My co-founder and brother, Roger Gregg, couldn’t have done it without your partnership, I appreciate it all. And mostly, my wife Justine Gregg, and my 5 children. The biggest sacrifice of all is at home. Whilst playing CEO 24/7, we trade off lost time with our loved ones. I am blessed to have your support, patience and love. Thank you Although this post sounds like a Goodbye - it is the opposite. We are passing on the ownership baton but business as usual will persist, and the innovation will accelerate. We will be coming hard to market with new products, new ideas and taking the game to a whole new level. Watch this space.Chris Gregg 🚀 ha compartido estoExciting news!

Chris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoChris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoThree days in Brisbane with some of the best minds in tourism. Proud to be a sponsor of Arival 360, the first time this event has come to Australian shores. The conversations were energised. Operators and attractions alike are grappling with the same questions: where will AI take distribution? What does it mean for direct bookings? What does the next generation of traveller actually want? My take: we're at a genuine inflection point. Consumer behaviour is shifting faster than most platforms can keep up with. The operators who act now, who own their customer relationships and invest in direct channels, will be the ones who look back and say they saw it coming. Great to be in the room with Nataliya Klymenko and Kate Brown from the Nabooki team. Even better to be among operators and innovators who are asking the right questions. The opportunity is real. Watch this space. #Arival360 #Tourism #TravelTech #DirectBookings #Nabooki

Chris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoChris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoWe’re excited to share that we just signed an agreement for Salesforce to acquire Fin for ~$3.6B. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027. Fin started as Intercom 15 years ago. We changed our name to cap our transformation just weeks ago. We were a darling of the SaaS era and invented so many of the patterns you see in software today. Nearly four years ago, in need of a reboot, we jumped on weeks-old modern LLMs to create and define the category we know as Customer Agents today. Salesforce invented modern software and SaaS. And Marc Benioff is like the final boss of tech founder CEOs. In seat for 27 years, he’s one of the last of his era. Still pushing, pivoting, placing big bets. It’s a privilege for Des Traynor and I to get to partner with him and join forces with Salesforce upon close at this most fascinating time. And will be very fun to get their help bringing Fin to magnitudes more consumers. To our customers: Over the past few years we’ve been shipping intensely. Including recently our groundbreaking model, Apex, and our paradigm-defining internal agent, Operator. With the resources of Salesforce this will only accelerate. And yet little will practically change. I’ll still be CEO, Des will still be running R&D, we’ll both still be committed to continuing to lead this category. Thank you very sincerely and deeply for your belief in us. To all of our friends, our families, and our employees, past and present: While this is not the end, it is a major, pivotal, special, and emotional moment for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For everything. To my cofounders, my exec team: Look what we built. Four young lads with a dream and nothing to lose. And a home grown exec team who pulled off the greatest and arguably only late stage software company pivot to AI, and invented one of the most important categories in AI. Thank you for sticking through all of this with me. And now, time to get back to work. See you at our next product launch in a few weeks. (:

Chris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoChris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoThe next chapter starts today. I’ve joined Ideagen as SVP Global Sales and I’ll be honest, the more I looked at this one the more I wanted it. The largest global vendor of EHS, Quality Management and Compliance SaaS, and somehow still ahead of the pack on AI capability. The moat is superior, the culture is exactly what I look for, the growth is real and the trajectory only goes one way. Strong regional sales teams already exist. What comes next focuses on building the connective tissue between them. Sharpening the operating rhythm, deepening cross-functional relationships, evolving how we sell the platform, ensuring customers receive the value and most importantly creating genuine development opportunities for the people doing the work every day. The platform is built. The market is there. Now it’s about commercial execution at the pace and scale this moment deserves. That’s enough talking. Time to get into it. ✌️

Chris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoChris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoToday marks the end of an era...AGAIN! I am departing Microsoft for the second time in my career. What started as six months turned into 14 months filled with hard work and satisfaction. I want to express my gratitude to both #microsoftsurface and all of my wonderful UK reseller and silicon partners for welcoming me with open arms. Together, we have collaborated, pushed boundaries, and delivered firsts, all while sharing smiles. Leaving a business that feels like 'home' is always difficult, but I am really excited about what comes next... more on that to follow. There are too many people to mention who have had a profound impact on me in this role; however, special thanks must go to Claire McCabe for giving me this opportunity. #newrole #newbeginnings

Chris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoChris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado esto"If we want to change mental health outcomes, we have to change how we measure them." The mental health sector doesn't just need more tools; it needs a clearer direction. It requires digital solutions that aren't just accessible, but genuinely validated by clinical evidence. That is exactly why I’ve joined the team at Innowell as Enterprise Account Director. I’m incredibly proud to partner with a purpose-driven group of people dedicated to bridging the gap between care and measurable data. The focus here isn't just on tech for the sake of it—it's about driving tangible, evidence-based outcomes that actually improve lives. The momentum is already moving fast, with major platform updates rolling out in just a matter of weeks. Looking forward to collaborating with leaders across the industry to move the needle on mental health outcomes.

Chris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoChris Gregg 🚀 ha recomendado estoToday is my last day at The Access Group, and I’m leaving with mixed emotions. When I joined four years ago, I honestly wasn’t sure if it was the right place for me but over time it became home. Along the way, I’ve made lifelong friends, shared some incredible moments, and learned a huge amount from some brilliant people. A special thank you to Jon Jorgensen and Claire Carter for always backing deals and helping make things happen internally. I’m also grateful to the colleagues who taught me so much throughout my time here Steve Thomas Ross Lennon James Skedgel Andy Brown Aidan Joyce Max Burbidge Rod Schregardus Alexandra Brown Richard Owen Richard Bains Chris Heyworth Rebecca (Becci) Duck Antony Hammond And finally, to the people at Access that I’m lucky enough to call friends - what a ride it’s been. I’ll never forget the big belly laughs, the chaos, and of course… Big Break! Love life, love work, be you.
