Air travel software firm Datalex has appointed Jonathan Rockett as its new chief executive.

Mr Rockett will join the board early in the fourth quarter of the year.

He will work alongside Sean Corkery, who recently announced his intention to retire from the company, until the end of the year to ensure a seamless transition.

Mr Rockett joins Datalex from Ding, where he currently occupies the role of Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

He also previously held senior positions in Paddy Power, which is part of Flutter Entertainment, and PwC.

Sean Corkery has been with Datalex since 2019 when he became deputy chairman and a non-executive director.

But he later became chief executive of the company after accounting irregularities led auditors EY to refuse to approve the 2018 accounts and the suspension of Datalex shares.

Since then Mr Corkery had led the stabilisation and rebuilding of the company.
