TORONTO — Open Text Corp. has named James McGourlay as its new president, chief client officer.
McGourlay will report to Ayman Antoun, who officially took over the chief executive job at the company on Monday.
McGourlay had been served as interim chief executive since August last year when the board abruptly replaced Mark Barrenechea in the top job.
OpenText had said McGourlay would be moving to another role within the executive leadership team at the company when it announced in January that Antoun, a former IBM executive, would become chief executive.
McGourlay takes over the president, chief customer officer, role from Paul Duggan, who will continue to serve as executive vice-president, special adviser.
Duggan will also remain a member of the OpenText executive leadership team until his departure from the company on July 1.
