Board composition

“The success of the Board and its stewardship of the Company is ultimately dependent on the skills and experience of its membership and the effectiveness of how they work together”

Jon Aisbitt
Chairman Man plc

Of key importance for the effective running of the Board is the combination of individuals who sit around the Boardroom table, details of whom are given in our annual report. Our Chief Executive and Finance Director have a wealth of experience in funds, corporate finance and financial management. Our Chief Operating Officer brings additional market, trading and business management expertise from his previous roles at GLG and Goldman Sachs. Our non-executive directors have in depth experience in strategy development and operational and people management from their careers in a wide range of financial services organisations. Some have institutional investment and client development expertise. All have a keen understanding of financial markets and the international experience and global outlook necessary for the direction of Man’s business.

The success of the Board and its stewardship of the Company is ultimately dependent on the skills and experience of its membership and the effectiveness of how they work together. The importance of bringing together individuals with diverse backgrounds, outlooks and interests is well recognised.
