RNS Number : 0511J  Hargreaves Lansdown PLC  08 December 2022

08 December 2022

 

Hargreaves Lansdown plc ("HL" or the "Company")

 

CEO succession

 

 

The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Dan Olley as Chief
Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Company once released from
current obligations in 2023, and subject to regulatory approval.

 

Dan will succeed Chris Hill, who announced on 17 October 2022 his intention to
retire after six years in the role. Until Dan joins, and as previously
announced, Chris will remain in place as Chief Executive Officer and
thereafter will support HL until November 2023 to provide continuity and
ensure an orderly transition.

 

Dan is a globally renowned technology leader, having delivered
transformational change and growth, including scaling platform businesses
internationally. He brings cutting-edge strategic, digital and operational
expertise and is uniquely placed to lead the ongoing execution of HL's
strategy, given his non-executive director role on the Board since June
2019.

Dan will step down from his current role as CEO at dunnhumby, a global
customer data science company, where he has been leading the development and
implementation of a digital-first, data-driven transformation. Prior to
dunnhumby, Dan spent seventeen years at RELX where he held a series of senior
digital roles and helped drive RELX's digital transformation into the
world-leading global information analytics company it is today.

 

Deanna Oppenheimer, HL Chair, said: "Having worked with Dan in a non-executive
capacity over the last three years, I have been highly impressed by both his
strategic insight and his depth of experience in digital transformation and,
as such, I am delighted that he will be the next CEO of HL. His strong
transformation leadership across complex scale businesses and experience of
driving growth and client engagement through digital change is a great match
for HL as we continue to deliver on our strategy. We very much look forward to
working together with Dan in this new capacity when he joins us next year."

 

Dan Olley said: "I am delighted to be joining HL as its next CEO. This is a
company with an exceptional track record, a strong strategic position and a
formidable brand.  I am tremendously excited at the opportunity to lead the
business through its digital transformation and into its next stage of growth.
Having joined the Board in 2019, I have a deep understanding and passion for
the business. HL has a clear purpose, highly talented people and an obsession
for client service. I look forward to building on the work of Chris and the
team to drive even more value for our clients and to capitalise on the
opportunities ahead."
