St. James's Place appoints new Non-Executive Director
St. James's Place plc is pleased to announce the appointment of
Dame Helena Morrissey to its Board as a Non-executive Director with
effect from 1 January 2020.
Helena recently stepped down from her role as Head of Personal
Investing at Legal & General Investment Management. Prior to
that she was Chief Executive of Newton Investment Management, the
global investment manager, from 2001 to 2016, having joined the
company in 1984.
Iain Cornish, Chair of St. James's Place plc, said:
"I am delighted that Helena is joining the Board of St. James's
Place. Her expertise in financial services, insight into investment
management and experience of running a major asset management
company will be of great value to the Board.
As I said earlier this year, attracting and developing a diverse
range of talent at St. James's Place is a priority for the Board.
While I am pleased that Helena's appointment takes the proportion
of women on our Board to a third, there is always more to do in
relation to inclusion and diversity across the business, and we
will continue to make progress on this."
Dame Helena Morrissey said: "St. James's Place has been a huge
success story in terms of growth and the provision of excellent
service to its clients over the past three decades. The Board's
strategic priorities include continuing to improve important
matters such as culture, inclusion and diversity, and I look
forward to using the experience and insights I have gained
throughout my career to help the company do this."
There is no other information regarding Dame Helena's
appointment to be disclosed under paragraph 9.6.13R of the Listing
Rules.
