Falcon Group, a specialist financier for corporates, has appointed Nick Gowlland as its chief financial officer (CFO) with responsibilities that will include oversight of the Group’s finance function, reporting and treasury operations.

Gowlland previously held positions at ABN AMRO, N M Rothschild & Sons and Standard Chartered Bank, where he was a managing director of the Strategic Client Coverage Group in Hong Kong.

“Through its bespoke funding solutions, global reach and local expertise, Falcon Group has seen great success over the past five years, and sculpted a strong reputation worldwide,” said Gowlland. “Falcon is rapidly growing, developing, and innovating its offering into new areas; it is a very exciting time to be joining the Group and making a contribution to its evolution.”

Gowlland will be based in Falcon Group’s London office in the iconic “Gherkin” building. In addition to his banking experience, Gowlland was also senior vice president of Finance at Sateri Holdings Limited in Hong Kong until June 2013.

“Nick will play a crucial role to the development of Falcon Group,” said Falcon Group CEO, Will Nagle.

“Our already-strong growth has picked up momentum over the past two years, making it vital we have someone expertly monitoring and refining our financial operations.

“With a professional background that has seen him gain wide international banking and corporate expertise, Nick is perfectly suited to Falcon’s unique position in the financial landscape, and I am looking forward to working closely with him as we continue to build Falcon,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
