Hargreaves Lansdown has announced that chief financial officer Philip Johnson will be stepping down from his position following a four-year stint on the board.
Johnson was appointed to Hargreaves’ board in April 2017. He was previously CFO of Jupiter Fund Management for several years and before that, group finance director of M&G for more than five years.
According to an RNS announcement, he is stepping down for “personal reasons” and the board of Hargreaves has begun the search for his successor.
Hargreaves Lansdown chef executive Chris Hill (pictured) said: “I would like to thank Philip Johnson for his contribution as chief financial officer and his leadership of our service functions. Philip has been a highly valued member of the management team and board and has played an instrumental role in helping the company perform strongly through these unprecedented times.
“While I am sad that he is going, I respect his decision and look forward to working together as the search for his successor begins. We all wish Philip every success for the future.”
