Listed financial planning and accountancy group Crowe Horwath is on the lookout for a new chief executive and managing director after the incumbent John Lombard stepped down from the position.
Richard Grellman, the chair of Crowe Horwath (which was previously known as WHK), stated that following a review of the company its board and Lombard believed "the company has reached a point where it is more appropriate for a new CEO to lead the company through its next stage of development".
Grellman said Lombard had been with Crowe Horwath for two years and had reset the business for the future as well as overseeing the rebranding from WHK and subsequent restructuring of the business.
Crowe Horwath would conduct a global search for Lombard's replacement and would consider internal candidates, with chief financial officer Chris Price taking on the role of acting chief executive during the time of the search. Price has been with Crowe Horwath for six years as its group chief financial officer.
