Evelyn Partners has appointed former Paddy Power Betfair CFO Alex Gersh (pictured) as its new chief financial officer.
He will take on the position at the end of April following the departure of Andrew Baddeley in March, who left to join accountancy firm S&W.
Gersh has held CFO positions at multiple other firms across different sectors, including overseeing the merger between Betfair and Paddy Power from 2016 to 2018.
He has since been CFO at firms such as used car dealer Cazoo from 2019 to 2020 and betting and gaming operator Sportsradar between 2020 to 2022, which he led through its $7bn IPO on NASDAQ.

Gresh was most recently CFO of online payments company Paysafe, which he left in September last year.
Paul Geddes, CEO of Evelyn Partners, said: “Alex is a highly accomplished CFO who will be a fantastic addition to the leadership team at Evelyn Partners.
“He joins us at a pivotal time for the business, which has recently undergone a significant strategic transformation to refocus the firm solely on wealth management where we see excellent growth opportunities.”
