Wishing Mr. Alistair Gurney greater responsibilities and exciting challenges in this impressive new chapter!
Lucanet, the Berlin-born powerhouse of intelligent finance software, has taken another leap forward in its global vision by appointing Alistair Gurney as its new Chief Financial Officer. This key move not only strengthens its leadership team but also reinforces Lucanet’s unwavering commitment to the UK market, where its presence continues to flourish.
Gurney, who will operate from London, enters the role with over 15 years of experience across senior finance leadership roles in both public and private equity-backed software firms. His portfolio includes influential tenures at companies like IRIS Software Group, Unit4 and most recently Dotdigital, where he served as Group CFO. With a strong grasp of the modern CFO toolkit, particularly in financial planning and analytics, Gurney’s appointment comes at a time when Lucanet is aggressively scaling on a global stage.
Elias Apel, CEO of Lucanet, praised the decision, saying, “Whilst the CFO plays a key role at any firm, it takes on added significance at Lucanet. As the leading partner to the modern CFO’s office, Lucanet does not only rely on its CFO as a strategic leader but also as someone who speaks our customers’ language, serving as a credible product ambassador.”
Gurney echoed the enthusiasm, stating, “What drew me to Lucanet is its clear mission to simplify the complex – empowering finance leaders with the tools they need to make intelligent and informed decisions. The Lucanet platform is the perfect tool for helping CFOs meet this demand and I’m excited to step into this role at such a pivotal time for our customer community.”
Lucanet’s end-to-end CFO platform, powered by cutting-edge automation and AI, aims to liberate finance leaders from the burden of repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on strategy and value creation. With a robust UK-based team already including the CTO, VP of Sales, VP of Marketing and now CFO, the company is solidifying its footprint as it continues to back digital transformation journeys across the region.
As Gurney joins the ranks, the future looks bright for Lucanet’s mission to make financial leadership effortless and visionary.
