IRIS Software Group, a leading provider of accounting, HR, payroll, and education software based in Slough, has announced the appointment of Chris Hall as its new Chief Product Officer (CPO).
Joining the firm on 2 January 2026, Hall will be responsible for leading the company’s long-term product vision and spearheading its “AI-first” strategy. He brings over two decades of experience in product transformation and intelligent automation, having worked across various startups and Fortune 100 companies.
Chris Hall expressed his enthusiasm for the role, noting the transformative potential of artificial intelligence: “IRIS has spent nearly five decades earning trust by helping customers get their most critical work right. Now we’re at an inflexion point where AI can fundamentally change what’s possible.”
Hall joins IRIS from Precisely, a data integrity tools provider used by over 12,000 organisations, where he also served as CPO. His previous leadership roles include positions at Red Ventures, Pitney Bowes, and Imagitas.
Jason Dies, Chief Executive of IRIS, commented on why Hall’s track record in AI-driven innovation will be vital for the company’s evolution: “Chris’s leadership will play a central role in how we evolve our products and continue to meet the changing needs of our customers. His track record… will accelerate our ability to deliver solutions that enable the thousands of organisations we support to manage complexity, stay compliant and work smarter.”
