The firm said on Thursday that Duff will join as a non-executive director on 1 May. Upon becoming chair, he will also become chair of the Nomination Committee.
Sage said Duff has a wealth of experience as a non-executive and chair, with a strong track record of transforming high-profile international businesses. He is currently non-executive chair of Elementis and served as chair of Severn Trent from 2010 until 2020.
Before that, he was a non-executive director of Wolseley and from 2003 until 2009, he served as chief executive of npower.
Senior independent director Drummond Hall said: "Andy is a highly accomplished business leader and a proven non-executive and chair. His strategic insights, international experience and strong focus on purpose, culture and customer centricity equip him well to support Sage's continued success."
