Former Iress CEO takes up chair role
Former Iress chief executive, Andrew Walsh, has taken up a position as chair of the board at wealth platform Mason Stevens.
Walsh was chair of Iress for 13 years until October 2022 and spent over 21 years at the firm.
In his role at Mason Stevens, Walsh would be a non-executive director and chair of the board.
He would take over from Steve Rickwood who had acted as chair on an interim basis since April 2022 following the death of previous chair Pat Handley.
Tim Yule, chief executive, said: “Andrew’s background spans from start-ups through to corporate growth, product innovation and technology, strategy, global M&As and listed markets. I’m confident this deep level of expertise will strengthen the direction of the board, bringing a fresh perspective and additional critical thinking as we enter an exciting new phase of the business”.
Walsh said: “Mason Stevens is embarking on a period of accelerated growth and I’m looking forward to playing a role in endorsing and championing the strategic direction of the business.”
