Aztec Group has announced the appointment of Sean Hagerty as its new Chair.
Mr Hagerty has a “strong background in financial leadership and strategic planning” and a “proven track record” of guiding organisations to success in the European and U.S. markets, according to Aztec Group.
The fund and corporate services provider said he will bring a wealth of financial services experience, and a diverse skill set to the role.
Aztec Group CEO Kathryn Purves said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Sean Hagerty as our new Chair.
“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.”
Mr Hagerty said he was “honoured” to take on the role.
“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,” he added.
Aztec founder Edward Moore will be stepping down as Chair after two years in the role, and after 22 years as CEO.
He said: “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.”
