Cyrus comments:
“The Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is creating conditions for many firms to reflect on the resilience and effectiveness of their operating models. This is no different for wealth and investment firms who have had the day to day challenges of investment performance, client service delivery and operational continuity. When firms reflect on their experience through these difficult times they will inevitably consider how their operations and services should change, not only for short term recovery but also for the longer term. This is very likely to generate an increased demand for business change and a corresponding need for the expertise to ensure its success. I am delighted to be joining Sionic at this particular time, to become a member of an impressive team that provides an excellent service to clients.”
Gilly Green adds:
“Our clients are dealing with challenges, not simply because of Coronavirus, but because of already-evident digital, technology, societal shifts, which the pandemic has accelerated. Cyrus has a proven track record of making a major difference to all his clients. I am excited that he has chosen to join Sionic, strengthening our expertise in transformation and change within our market-leading team.”
