7IM has made two senior internal appointments.

Harriet Massie has been promoted to chief transformation officer, while the former holder of that position Chris Phillips, moves into the newly-created role of chief value officer.

Both roles take effect from 1 June and report directly to CEO Dean Proctor.

Massie has been with 7IM since 2017 and most recently served as transformation director.

She will lead 7IM’s transformation team, overseeing the delivery of its “multi-year, multi-million-pound platform investment programme.” She will also drive execution of 7IM’s broader transformation roadmap.

In his new role, Phillips will lead 7IM’s product and marketing function, with oversight across proposition, product design and development, product governance, and brand.

He will also play a key role in shaping 7IM’s long-term strategy, with a focus on creating long-term value for advisers and their clients.

Phillips joined 7IM in 2019 and having previously held senior roles at Barclays and Lloyds Banking Group.

These latest appointments follow that of Nick Allen as chief integration officer this month to “drive onboarding and harmonisation of recent and future acquisitions across 7IM.”

Proctor said“Both Harriet and Chris are proven leaders with a clear understanding of our business and the needs of advisers.

“Harriet has been a driving force behind our transformation programme – her focus and rigour will be key as we deliver on our platform investment programme and wider transformation plans.

“Chris brings real strategic firepower and experience as we continue to evolve our proposition and deliver value where it matters most.”
