Davies has welcomed Amber Wilkinson as group chief financial officer (CFO).
Wilkinson will join Davies later this year, reporting directly to group CEO Dan Saulter, as well as joining the firm’s group executive committee.
She succeeds Davies’ senior executive, Tony Debiase, who will step down following a successful 12 years in the CFO seat.
Prior to her new position, Wilkinson most recently served as CFO at global law firm, DLA Piper since 2021. Before this, she spent over a decade at AXA in senior leadership roles, including CFO of AXA Health, CFO of Bluefin Insurance, and head of Mergers and Acquisitions for AXA UK & Ireland.
Commenting on her new role, Wilkinson says: “I am excited to be joining Davies as Group CFO at what is a pivotal time, as the business seeks to further internationalise, and invest in technology and client service.”
“I look forward to working with Dan and the wider leadership team as we deliver for our clients and stakeholders,” she adds.
Dan Saulter, group CEO of Davies, says: “I am thrilled that we have been able to attract someone of Amber’s calibre and ambition to Davies, and I am delighted to welcome her as our new Group CFO. Amber’s experience in international business, professional services, insurance, and M&A is a great fit for Davies as we seek to execute an ambitious future strategy. I am also very grateful to Tony for his long and distinguished service at Davies. We all wish him the best for the future.”
