The Inzito Partnership toasts success of first decade with a new practice

The Inzito Partnership, the leading boutique executive search firm in the UK, is expanding its business to form a specialist Financial Officers practice, to serve a growing number of requirements in this field. The company, founded 10 years ago, has worked with a broad range of FTSE listed and private businesses including Rolls Royce, Compass, Harrods, Bentley, Uber and the London Stock Exchange.

Simon Bailey will join the company to lead the new practice, working on the appointment of CFOs and their leadership teams in the UK and worldwide. Simon has 30 years’ experience in managing senior finance appointments.

Carol Leonard, Founding Partner and Head of the Board Practice said: “Over the last 10 years we’ve helped our clients to appoint exceptional CFOs. Simon’s expertise and extensive network will enable us to build on this success by further strengthening our ability to identify and attract talented Board and management board members for our clients, as well as allowing us to help CFOs with their teams too.”

Simon Bailey said: “I believe the CFO role will continue to develop as a critical Board appointment carrying increasing influence over the strategy, performance and control of companies. I am very excited to be marrying the Inzito values of quality, rigour and best in class in research with my experience of managing CFO and senior finance leadership appointments. I believe we have an opportunity to now become the go-to UK firm for such appointments. It is 10 years since Carol and I worked together at Whitehead Mann [now Korn Ferry] and I am very excited to be joining her again, and the team at Inzito.”
