Target Group hires new chief financial officer

Target Group, the financial services outsourcing and software provider, has appointed Iestyn Evans as the group’s new chief financial officer (CFO).

Evans joins Target from Amicus Finance, where he was group finance director, responsible for leading the finance function and supporting the creation of a specialist bank.

Evans has also previously held senior leadership roles at Lloyds Banking Group, Cambridge and Counties Bank and Omni Partners, a leading Alternative Investment Manager. He will report into co-group CEO Ian Larkin.

In his new role at Target, Evans will be responsible for overseeing the financial management of the company and helping to drive its growth plans.

“I am delighted Iestyn has joined the team at Target," said Larkin. "He brings extensive market knowledge that is directly relevant to our business and to our clients and he has a great attitude to work and life. Iestyn is an important addition to our Executive team and I look forward to working with him as we continue to help our clients to achieve their goals as we pursue our ambitious strategy."

Evans added: "Target Group is a dynamic business and now is a very exciting time to be joining. It has just posted its fourth consecutive year of growth and is geared up to continue its impressive trajectory following the acquisition by Tech Mahindra last year.

"It is a major player in business process outsourcing and operational transformation across a range of sectors and continues to go from strength to strength. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining such a significant success story."
