Taylor, who previously sat as a non-executive director on the board, is taking over from Alison Endemano, who had been chair since Oaktree Capital Management invested in atomos in May 2022.

Taylor is a highly experienced executive and non-executive director, who has served in several senior management roles within financial services including CEO of Ascentric and Co-operative Insurance. He has also provided advisory services to firms including PwC and Accenture. Taylor holds a PhD in computer science from the University of London, the firm said in a statement.

Introducing Taylor, Jonathan Polin, CEO of atomos, said: "Jon combines his experience of running businesses with extensive experience in change management and digital transformation; as such he is well positioned to help steer and improve our business in all aspects of its performance.

“I would also like to say a very big thank you to Alison for all her work and support over the last year. Chairing the board of a newly-acquired business such of ours is a difficult and multifaceted job, and Alison was quick to get to grips with the challenges we faced as we have set about transforming the business.”

Taylor added: “I am very pleased to chair atomos at this crucial stage of the business’ development. The atomos team has already achieved a huge amount in less than a year. We are excited to continue to transform atomos to ensure clients can access a personalised face-to-face service, combined with the convenience and access to modern digital tools and a range of high-quality investment solutions.”
