Abrdn plc has announced the upcoming appointment of Siobhan Boylan as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and executive director, pending regulatory approval. Boylan, who is currently the CFO of Coutts & Co, will be joining the company in the summer.
With over three decades of experience in the financial services industry, Boylan brings extensive knowledge to her new role. Before her time at Coutts & Co, she was CFO of Brewin Dolphin, a member of the FTSE 250 until its acquisition in 2022. Boylan also served as CFO for Legal & General’s asset management subsidiary, LGIM, and held several senior finance positions at Aviva plc.
Sir Douglas Flint CBE, Chairman of Abrdn, expressed excitement over her appointment, saying: “I am delighted to welcome Siobhan as a member of our Board and executive team. Siobhan brings outstanding credentials and deep experience as CFO of wealth and investment businesses.”
Jason Windsor, CEO of Abrdn, also praised Boylan’s credentials, stating: “Siobhan was the outstanding candidate, with her impressive skillset and experience that is highly relevant, and complementary to the rest of the leadership team. I know she will make an immediate and significant impact.”
Windsor took the opportunity to thank Ian Jenkins, who has been serving as Interim CFO, for his dedication during this transitional period. He also confirmed that Jenkins will step into a new role as CFO of Abrdn’s Investments business once Boylan takes over the CFO position.
Boylan herself shared her enthusiasm, saying: “I am delighted to be joining Jason and the Executive team at abrdn. This is an exciting time to join the business, and I am looking forward to working with talented colleagues, to continue to strengthen the business and set it up for future success.”
Until Boylan joins, Ian Jenkins will remain as the Interim Group CFO.
