Professional services provider ZEDRA has announced the appointment of Aoife Habben as its new Chief People Officer. 

Ms Habben brings over two decades of experience in dynamic, high-growth environments, having held senior HR leadership roles at Amazon, GE and most recently at a private equity-backed fintech firm. 

ZEDRA says she is “renowned for her strategic clarity, commercial acumen, and collaborative leadership style”, and has a proven track record of building and nurturing high-performing teams. 

Ms Habben joins at a “pivotal time” and will be instrumental in driving forward the people agenda in line with further growth ambitions. Currently based in London, she will be relocating to ZEDRA’s Jersey office in early 2026. 

Group CEO Dean Blackburn said: “I am thrilled to welcome Aoife to our leadership team.

“Her passion for people and deep expertise in building inclusive, high-performing cultures will be instrumental as we continue to support our employees and clients to achieve their ambitions. 

“We know that when our people thrive, our clients succeed – and Aoife will play a key role in driving that vision forward.” 

Ms Habben added: “I am delighted to join the team at ZEDRA, continuing the hard work already underway across the people agenda. 

“This is an exciting time for the business and I look forward to working closely with our fantastic teams and leaders to achieve our ambitious plans, and deliver for our clients.”
