School24 Appoints Stephanie Svourenos as Chief Executive Officer
School24 CEO, Stephanie Svourenos, with founder, Abder Bloul
We are excited to announce that Stephanie Svourenos has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of School24.
Stephanie joins School24 as CEO with almost two decades of experience across business leadership, technology, customer experience, marketing, operations and commercial strategy.
Stephanie has focused much of her career on understanding customers, improving how organisations operate & market, and ensuring the products & services they provide genuinely meet the needs of the people using them.
Proven SaaS Leadership
Prior to joining School24, Stephanie spent more than eight years with Australian legal practice management company SILQ, progressing through a number of senior leadership roles including Marketing Manager, Head of Customer Experience and General Manager.
Her experience at SILQ spanned the commercial, operational and customer-facing sides of the business, giving her a strong understanding of how SaaS companies grow, evolve and build lasting relationships with their customers. This broad leadership experience has shaped Stephanie’s customer-first approach and her belief that sustainable growth comes from combining strong strategy with a deep understanding of the people a business serves.
A Personal Connection to School Communities
Her connection to the school community is also personal.
As a parent of three school-aged children, Stephanie understands first-hand the realities of busy school and family life. Having spent many years volunteering in her children’s school canteen, she experienced the day-to-day operational demands faced by the wonderful people running school canteens and the important role they play within their school communities.
That combination of technology leadership and practical school experience gives Stephanie a unique perspective on the opportunity ahead for School24.
“For Stephanie, joining School24 represents an opportunity to bring together her experience in technology, business growth, marketing and customer experience with something she feels strongly about: making everyday school life easier for the people behind it, while supporting the school communities that play such an important role in shaping children’s futures.”
Looking Ahead
As CEO, Stephanie will focus on strengthening School24’s relationships with its existing customers, listening closely to schools and their communities, continuing to improve the customer experience and building on the technology and services School24 provides as the company enters its next phase of growth.
She is particularly passionate about ensuring School24 continues to evolve as an increasingly valuable partner to schools, canteen and uniform shop operators, P&Cs, volunteers and families.
With a strong customer-first philosophy, Stephanie’s focus will be on ensuring the voice of School24’s customers remains at the centre of the company’s future direction, innovation and growth.
