CISI
The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) has confirmed that its long serving CEO Simon Culhane will step down.
Handing over the reins in September, Culhane will depart the top role after 18 years.
Culhane, who grew CISI’s workforce from just 65 staff, has overseen the City institute’s digital transformation with its new app.
“It has been a real honour and privilege to hold this position, for what will have been 18 years which have gone by in a flash,” said Culhane. “I feel that now is the right time to step down, after we celebrate our 30th Anniversary this year.”
The board has now begun the search process to find a successor.
CISI chair, Michael Cole-Fontayn added: “Simon has been instrumental in the growth of our global community of members and has built many important relationships around the world which contribute to its success; therefore, it would be our intention to engage Simon in an international ambassadorial role for an appropriate period.”

“I am thrilled to welcome Angela to the team at such an important time for our clients, who are facing enormous pressure to transition to sustainable practices, quickly,” global sustainability head and senior partner, Richard Forrest said.
“Angela’s passion and impressive track record for driving change towards sustainable business practices will be a highly valuable addition to the team.”
