Rank continues hiring spree with CFO appointment
William Floydd joins from Experian as CEO John O’Reilly continues to overhaul the casino operator’s executive team
The Rank Group today announced the appointment of William “Bill” Floydd as its new chief financial officer (CFO).
Floydd is set to join the operator on 12 November and is expected to join the board “in due course”, after leaving the CFO role at FTSE 100 consumer-credit company Experian.
He spent more than five years at Experian, where he was involved in several deals including the acquisition of HD Decisions and a major investment in London & Country Mortgages.
Rank’s James Pizey, who stepped into the role of interim CFO following the departure of Clive Jennings, will now become group financial controller.
Rank CEO John O’Reilly
Rank Group CEO John O’Reilly said: “I am pleased that Bill has agreed to join Rank at this exciting time in the company’s journey.
“There is much to be done to deliver our transformational programme and I am confident that Bill is the right person to assist me and the leadership team in delivering a growing business that is fit for the future.
“I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank James Pizey for stepping into the CFO role on an interim basis whilst we conducted the search for a permanent CFO.”
Floydd is the latest in a flurry of executive hires at Rank under O’Reilly’s management after the group appointed a new CIO and chief transformation officer in August.
