In his new role as COO, Mark Wanless, who has been with the group for over 10 years, will have overall responsibility for designing and delivering the Group’s operational strategy, while also overseeing the Group’s IT, business improvement and facilities teams.
Paul Conroy has taken on Mr Wanless’ former position and will have overall responsibility for the development, growth and delivery of the Group’s real assets and private debt service offerings.
Edward Moore, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Mark represents an excellent fit for the COO role because of the unique skill set he brings to the table. Not only has he played an integral role in the establishment and operation of our control framework since joining the business, but his extensive client-facing experience means he can be relied upon to deliver an operating platform that complements our service model.”
He added: “Paul has worked alongside Mark for some time and possesses outstanding knowledge of our business, values and client base. He has consistently demonstrated his leadership abilities over his time with the Group and I have no doubt that our multi-jurisdictional real assets and private debt teams will continue to flourish under his management. Congratulations to both Mark and Paul on their well-deserved promotions.”
