European Wealth Names New CEO, Other Boardroom Arrivals
The UK-listed wealth management house has a new chief executive and a changed board.
London-listed European Wealth has
appointed John Morton, formerly executive chairman, as chief
executive. The firm has also made a number of other
changes.
Morton takes over from Rod Gentry, who left the company he helped
to found earlier this year.
Kenneth West, a non-executive director, has been named as
non-executive chairman as part of the changes, the firm said in a
statement.
West is a senior non-executive director at AIM-listed telecoms
company Norcon, and a director of the telematics
group Pinnacle Plus Holdings. He was previously chairman of
wealth manager Ashcourt Rowan and GAB Robins, a
loss-adjustment group.
Simon Ray, chief operating officer at European Wealth, has
been appointed as an executive director. He was previously
head of Aventus Capital Management, and has over 20 years’
experience in the wealth management industry. He joined
European Wealth as part of the acquisition of Aventus in 2011.
