MacKenzie will become a director of investment management at the firm’s London office.
He has more than 30 years’ investment experience, working for Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Private Banking and Coutts, where he was formerly an executive director and joint head of tailored portfolio services. Most recently, he worked for Seven Investment Management as a private client relationship manager.
McKenzie’s appointment comes as the private and commercial banking and wealth management arm of the Arbuthnot Banking Group has announced a number of other senior hires across its business development and financial planning divisions.
The appointments include Dean Moore who will take over as head of wealth planning. Like McKenzie, Moore is also formerly of Coutts & Co, where he served as executive director in the private office. He has also held senior roles at Barclays Wealth, Hargreaves Lansdown and HSBC and is a chartered fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments, as well as a certified financial planner.
Joining the ex-Coutts pair are Nick Ellis-Calcott and Nick Bailey, who will take up the role of business transformation director and managing director, business development, respectively. Ellis-Calcott comes from Shawbrook Bank, where he was chief technology director, while Bailey joins from Elixorr Partners, where he looked after engagements for clients in the UK, South Africa and the US.
Rounding off the appointments, the firm has selected Andy Rushmer for the newly-created role of head of information and cyber security. Also from Shawbrook Bank, Rushmer helped define the bank’s IT architecture, security, cyber strategy and risk appetite framework as head of IT at his previous employer.
The group’s chief executive, Ian Henderson, called the “appointments are a testament to our solid growth strategy”.
All appointments are effective immediately.
