DWF's Matthew Doughty to become Chief Growth & Strategy Officer
Group appoints new Chief Operating Officer
DWF announces that Matthew Doughty is to be appointed Chief Growth &
Strategy Officer (CSO) with effect from 9 September 2022. Matthew Doughty will
remain an Executive Director and will focus on the implementation of DWF's
strategy of providing integrated legal and business services to more of its
key clients. He will also lead on all inorganic expansion activities, in
particular the delivery of a strong M&A pipeline, and will also remain the
Board sponsor of the Group's ESG strategy.
DWF is also pleased to announce the appointment of Matthew Glenville as Group
Chief Operating Officer (COO) with effect from 9 September 2022. Matthew
Glenville will be a member of the Executive Leadership Team and will have
responsibility for pursuing operational excellence and delivering
transformational change projects. The COO, who will not join the Board, will
report to the CSO.
Matthew Glenville joins DWF from ICE Clear Europe, one of the world's leading
futures and options clearing houses, where since 2018 he has held the
positions of COO, Chief Technology Officer and Chief of Staff. Previously,
Glenville was COO at ICE Benchmark Administration and led various teams across
front office, operations and change management at Royal Bank of Scotland.
Sir Nigel Knowles, Group CEO, said: "The creation of the CSO role and the
appointment of a new COO will further strengthen our ability to ensure senior
time and focus is given to our strategic and operational priorities. By
further increasing our strategic focus on organic growth, we aim to accelerate
the adoption of a wider range of our services among our largest clients,
driving profitable revenue growth. Supplementing this with inorganic growth
through selective M&A has long been part of our strategy. We believe
that the CSO role will bring additional focus to these areas, generating
shareholder value. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Matthew
in his new role.
"I am also delighted to welcome Matthew Glenville to DWF. His significant
experience and proven operational track record will enable us to deliver on
our ongoing and ambitious programme of transformation. In addition to his
strong technical abilities, Matthew is an excellent influencer and
communicator, enabling him to effectively collaborate with stakeholders to
achieve strategic priorities. We are pleased that Matthew saw in DWF the
opportunity to influence our transition from law firm to a global professional
services organisation and I'm looking forward to him joining the team."
