David’s appointment sees him assume immediate responsibility for marketing, sales and client services at a time when Intelliflo is seeing increased demand for its market leading product, Intelligent Office (iO), while Mike moves to focus on Intelliflo’s key strategic partnerships and enterprise clients, a major part of the firm’s development plans.
David originally joined the Intelliflo board as a non-executive director in January 2014.
David’s interim appointment follows a string of recent new hires for Intelliflo, with Paul Chedzey joining as Head of Business Transition, Fay Anderson as a Client Engagement Executive, Steve Harrison as Sales Executive and Wendy Dines as a Client Transition Consultant.
David commented on the appointment:
“Intelliflo’s strategy has never been so compelling, so I am genuinely excited to assume the role of Chief Operating Officer at such an interesting and dynamic period of the company’s development. The business has performed exceptionally well during the pre and post RDR period which is a testament to the company’s talented management and staff, strong business model and excellent customer proposition.
“I look forward to working with this proven team lead by Nick Eatock and the outstanding adviser centric technology, innovation and heritage of Intelliflo. These factors, together with the last year’s investment by HgCapital, position the business for growth in the UK by taking advantage of the material changes and technology migrations in the financial services distribution sector.”
Nick Eatock of Intelliflo said:
“Having spent much of his career in senior management positions across technology and financial services distribution, David is a seasoned and trusted professional who consistently delivers results. He is uniquely qualified to drive strategic prioritisation and accountability within Intelliflo, with a dedicated focus for delivering operation excellence.
“I am therefore delighted to announce David Child’s interim appointment and look forward to working with him to deliver on our exciting plans for growth.”
