Kenton Fine will lead the group in the capacity of Executive Chairman. Says Fine, “We’re proud to be custodians of this venerable business – we have thousands of colleagues looking to this new management team for consistency and continuity.”
Fine spent 25 years building Servest. Also joining the team as CFO is Mike Field, previously CFO at RMBCIB, and Andre Ribbens as Group Transformation Director. They will work alongside current COO, Rogier Bronsgeest and CTO, Harsha Gowda, to steer the company, installing robust processes, firm governance and operational stability.
Rogier Bronsgeest, COO says “Kenton is bringing ideas, people and much needed capital to bear. It’s a great time for Getronics and our stable of valued clients.”
Fine summarises, “Getronics is a fantastic business driven by brilliant people. Client-focused services are deeply embedded in its DNA. It’s up to us as the new leadership team to put the action behind the talk and make sure we keep our people and our customers happy.”
