SelfWealth looks to US for new CEO

Cath Whitaker, who has spent the last dozen years in senior managerial roles with Marsh in London, Singapore, and the US, has been tapped as the new chief executive officer of SelfWealth.

During her tenure with Marsh, Whitaker drove digital transformation both in her own organisation and others, leading the digital and data strategy for the risk management and corporate divisions.

SelfWealth managing director Rob Edgley said, "Our current team, together with founder and former CEO Andrew Ward, have done a fantastic job in building a fast-growing business with a trusted brand, an engaged community of traders, and an innovative product offering. We are delighted to welcome Cath as the new CEO of SelfWealth. Her impressive track record in implementing global digital transformation programs is completely aligned with the growth strategy of SelfWealth."

Whitaker will take over as CEO on 20 April.

Additionally, Edgely has been named chair of the SelfWealth board. Current chair Tony Lally will remain on the board as a non-executive director.
