Paragon’s new director appointment

Sam Lanyon was appointed in October as a non-executive director of Paragon’s board, joining executive directors John Deniz and Hillier Deniz.

As an innovative business leader, Sam is recognised for his significant experience in strategy, sales, and operations with a successful track record of commercialising technology-rich products globally. Sam is currently Co-CEO and co-founder of Planet Innovation, Australia’s preeminent health-tech innovation and commercialisation company. Sam is also a Director of Zen Ecosystems Pty Ltd, a leading provider of intelligent energy management solutions.

Sam was one of the key individuals behind Vison Systems Limited success, a micro-cap ASX-listed Industrial delivering substantial growth before a 3-way bidding war in 2007 saw Vision ultimately being taken over by Danaher (DHR: NYSE) for $800m.

Sam has a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering with honours from the University of Melbourne, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Management from Melbourne Business School and has completed strategy training with London Business School.

We are very pleased to have Sam join our board and look forward to Sam’s strategic insights and his contribution to strong corporate governance of Paragon.
