John Donohoe, founder and group chief executive, remains CEO, with a focus on innovation, long-term strategy and value creation. Parkhouse will report directly to him.
The company said the appointment represents the latest milestone in its longstanding growth strategy, which includes the recent announcement of Permira as a significant minority investor, subject to regulatory approval.
“John’s track record and prominence as a figurehead in the asset management industry, combined with his reputation for being relentlessly client-led, makes him an ideal fit as we build on the phenomenal success Carne has achieved so far, and enter a phase where disciplined execution and client experience are just as important as ambition and innovation,” said Donohoe.
