Mid-market private equity firm ECI Partners has appointed Neal Griffith as CFO designate. Griffith joins from pan-European private equity firm, Equistone Partners Europe, where he was CFO and Chief Risk Officer, having joined as Group Financial Controller in 2017.
Prior to Equistone Griffith was Fund Financial Controller for investment firm, BC Partners. His appointment to CFO will follow the retirement of incumbent, Philip Shuttleworth, at the end of the year, after almost 30 years with ECI.
Chris Watt, Managing Partner at ECI, comments: “We’re delighted to welcome Neal to the team at ECI and I look forward to working with him as he transitions to the CFO role over the course of this year, taking over from Philip. His experience will be invaluable as he joins ECI at an exciting time, with capital to deploy and off the back of a fantastic track record of exits.”
