Chief Financial Officer Designate Appointment
Mirriad Advertising plc, the leading in-content advertising company, announces that in line with the Company's recent strategic review and management restructure, it has today appointed Nicholos (Nic) Hellyer as Chief Financial Officer designate.
It is anticipated that Nic will join the Company's board of directors in November 2023 and a further announcement will be made at such point.
David Dorans, current Chief Financial Officer, remains with the Company to undertake an orderly handover and ensure a smooth transition to the new structure.
Nic joins the Company with over 30 years of financial and listed company experience, having held various senior banking director and CFO roles. Nic brings substantial equity capital and M&A experience from UBS Investment Bank and HSBC, alongside vast small and mid cap-focused public markets experience from Singer Capital Markets and CFO roles with Byotrol and Bannix Acquisition Corp. in the US. Most recently he gained highly relevant sector experience as CFO at Pelatro Plc, a provider of proprietary software solutions to enterprise-level customers that uses big data analytics to customise promotions to customers.
Stephan Beringer, CEO at Mirriad, said: "We are delighted to welcome Nic to the Company and I look forward to working closely with the aim of driving long-term shareholder value. His combination of senior advisory and company-side experience in the UK and US will be invaluable as we look to execute the important next phase of our strategy with large entertainment corporations, scaling in-content advertising revenue through programmatic sales.
"On behalf of the entire team, I would also like to thank David for his outstanding contributions and commitment to the Company over the last eight years and, following the handover period, he will depart with our best wishes for success in his future endeavours."
