Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

 

Frontier IP, a specialist in commercialising intellectual property, is pleased
to announce the appointment of Jo Stent as Chief Financial Officer with effect
from 22 April 2024. Jo is a chartered accountant, having qualified at Ernst
& Young, and brings nearly 30 years' experience in senior financial roles
across a broad range of sectors and geographies.

 

Jo was most recently CFO at AIM quoted Argentex Group Plc, provider of bespoke
currency risk management and payment solutions, from February 2021 to January
2024. She was previously Chief Financial Officer of the European Tour and
Ryder Cup Europe. She is also a former CFO of Vodafone Americas and previously
held senior positions at Telus Communications and Deloitte.

 

Jo has spent most of her career in blue chip global organisations. More
recently her keen interest in technology, innovation and scale up has led her
to focus on working alongside founder led growth organisations as both an
executive and non-executive director in the listed and private sector.

 

With effect from 22 April 2024, Jim Fish, current Chief Financial Officer of
the Group, will move to a new position within the Group as Portfolio Finance
Director where he will continue to support the Group's portfolio companies.

 

Neil Crabb, Chief Executive of Frontier IP, said: "I am delighted to welcome
Jo to our Board of Directors and to the wider Group. Jo brings significant
expertise and experience and will be a key member of the team contributing to
the next stage of our growth. It is a testament to the strength of our
business model and the potential of our portfolio that we have been able to
attract someone of Jo's calibre as Chief Financial Officer."

 

Jo Stent, Chief Financial Officer, said: "I am very pleased to be joining
Frontier IP Group at such an exciting stage of its development. I am looking
forward to working with the Frontier team as we help our portfolio companies
scale up to be highly successful businesses in their own right."
