Equiom, a professional services provider with a growing Asian presence, has announced some key changes within its senior management team.
Derek Vaz will take up the position of Global Chief Financial Officer and Jeremy Evans will move from that role into the newly created role of Global Head of M&A and Organic Growth.
The changes come as a result of Equiom’s recent growth and future plans for expansion.
New Roles
Vaz joined the business in January as Deputy CFO, having worked for over 20 years in the financial services industry in senior positions within Lloyds Banking Group and KPMG. In his new role, he will have primary responsibility for the company’s global finance functions including IT and Change as well as Global Data Governance.
Evans has been at Equiom since 2008 and was instrumental in leading the overall financial strategy to ensure profitability and played a key role in developing the company’s presence in Asia. In his new role he will focus on Equiom’s acquisition and integration activity with responsibility for the company’s acquisitive and organic growth strategy.
Asian Growth Story
During 2016 the firm made several acquisitions which in turn significantly increased its Asian footprint.
Last year Equiom acquired The Heritage Trust Group, an Asian corporate services firm with offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. That deal followed on from another in Hong Kong in which Equiom purchased Equation Hong Kong.
