Board Changes

 

 

Keystone Law, the network and tech enabled challenger law firm, is pleased to
announce the appointment of Salar Farzad as an Independent Non-Executive
Director, sitting on the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination Committees, with
immediate effect.  Farzad is currently a Non-Executive Council Member and
sits on the Nominations and Remunerations committees of Trinity College
London.  He is a qualified Chartered Accountant with extensive commercial
experience, having served as CFO for a range of organisations including AIM
quoted and private companies as well as divisions of large Main Market
businesses.

 

Having been a member of the Board since October 2014, following the investment
in Keystone by Root Capital (later rebranded ScaleUp Capital), Simon Philips
has notified the Board of his intention to step down as a Non-executive
Director.  He has agreed with the Board that this should take place following
the announcement of the Group's 2023 results and that he will continue in his
role as Chair of the Audit committee until that time.  Following Simon's
departure, Salar will Chair the Audit committee.

 

James Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Keystone, commented:

 

"We are delighted to welcome Salar to the Board and look forward to working
with him. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Simon for his
invaluable contribution to the Group's development over the past eight
exciting and formative years and I wish him all the best for the future."
