Aztec Group has appointed Sean Hagerty, the former Chief Executive of Vanguard Europe, as its new Chair, replacing retiring Edward Moore.
The company says the appointment aims to continue the Group’s long-term growth, particularly in the US and Europe, and to help explore new markets.
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Sean Hagerty as our new Chair,” said Kathryn Purves, the CEO of Aztec Group.
“Sean’s leadership, strategic market insight, and commitment to excellence, combined with his deep appreciation of the importance of culture, makes him an outstanding choice for this role as we embark on our next phase of growth.
“We are confident that under Sean’s guidance, Aztec Group will continue to grow our presence in the U.S, remain market leading in Europe and expand into new markets.”
Speaking on his new appointment, Mr Hagerty said: “I am honoured to take on the role of Chair at Aztec Group. With such a unique and compelling growth story to date, I believe the opportunities ahead for Aztec are bright and I look forward to working with the talented team at Aztec to drive the company’s ambitions, opportunities and goals forward.”
Edward Moore, Aztec’s founder, is stepping down from the Chair role after 22 years as CEO and two as Chair.
Mr Moore expressed his confidence in Mr Hagerty’s leadership for the company’s next phase.
“After 22 years as Aztec’s CEO and the last two as its Chair, as we look ahead to our twenty-fifth year and further growth in the coming years, I’ve decided this is the right time for the business to have a different perspective leading the Board.
“I am incredibly proud at how far the business has come thanks to our incredibly talented people and the exceptional service we provide our clients, and I’m looking forward to working alongside Sean to ensure we maintain our strengths as the business continues to grow.”
