Aztec Group, a provider of private markets services, has appointed Benjamin Lucas as its CEO, following his time as CEO of Amundi Technology.
He will lead the firm’s 2,200 employees across the UK, US, Luxembourg, Ireland, and the Channel Islands.
Lucas will succeed interim CEO Sean Hagerty, who will return to his post as chair of the Aztec Group board.
Prior to joining the firm, he spent time in senior leadership positions at a number of financial services firms, including EY and KPMG, as UK head of asset management and global head of asset management consulting.
Commenting on his appointment, Lucas says: “Aztec has built something genuinely rare — a culture where deep specialist expertise, long-term client partnerships and a serious technology ambition sit together naturally.
“My focus will be on strengthening that foundation: applying advanced technology alongside the human expertise and judgment our clients rely on to deliver an increasingly sophisticated service.”
Hagerty adds: “As we accelerate our technology investment to drive scale and service quality, Ben is exceptionally well placed to lead Aztec forward.”
