Bravura has appointed Libby Roy as CEO, replacing Nick Parsons.
Currently non-executive director of Bravura, Roy will become CEO on 22 August 2022.
Roy has more than 20 years experience in global financial services and joins Bravura from Australia-based Optus Business where she was managing director.
Roy has also held several senior executive positions with AMP and AXA, and was managing director of PayPal at the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group.
Peter Mann, former CEO of Skandia and long-standing non-executive director of Bravura will be Bravura’s interim CEO until 22 August.
After 22 August, Mann will take on the role as chairman for Europe, Middle East and Africa to bring additional support and focus to Bravura’s growth plans in the region.
Outgoing CEO Parsons has served at Bravura for 15 years, first joining as chief technology officer to work on the development of Bravura’s Sonata programme.
He was chief operating officer at the firm for 10 months before becoming CEO in September 2021.
Commenting on her new role, Roy says: “I would like to thank the outgoing CEO, Nick Parsons, for the work he has done in building the executive team and his contribution during his many years with Bravura.
“I am looking forward to using my experience to harness the tremendous opportunities Bravura has in its existing markets and globally. Bravura has been experiencing a transition in its markets and has been developing its offering accordingly. I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to capitalise on this.”
Bravura chairman Neil Broekhuizen, comments: “I have every confidence that Libby will champion the needs of clients, employees and shareholders into the future. I am delighted that Libby has agreed to become our next CEO. Having experienced her talent and contribution first-hand, I am sure she will contribute significantly to Bravura’s development, both internally and externally.”
