Andrew Peeler Joins Equiniti as Chief Financial Officer

Equiniti Group announced today that the company has appointed Andrew Peeler, former Chief Financial Officer at Bupa ANZ, as the company’s new CFO. Peeler has extensive experience and a proven track record in the corporate world.

According to an official announcement by the company, the appointment of Peeler will take effect from 1 August 2021 after the departure of John Stier who is the current Chief Financial Officer at Equiniti. The UK-listed company mentioned that Stier will remain with the business for the mentioned period to facilitate a smooth handover.

Peeler has been serving as the interim CFO of Mitie PLC since December 2019. Before joining Mitie, Peeler worked as Chief Financial Officer at Bupa ANZ and as Chief Executive Officer at Yodel.

Commenting on the latest announcement, Peeler said: “I am thrilled to be taking up the position of Equiniti CFO. I am looking forward to working with Paul Lynam and the strong and experienced team that has led the business to date. I am excited about the significant opportunities open to Equiniti and leading the strong finance team built by John Stier over the past six years."

Stier spent more than six years at Equiniti as CFO. Prior to joining Equiniti, he spent over 13 years at Northgate Information Solutions as Group CFO. "It has been a pleasure working with the Equiniti team over the last six years to build the business, including taking it into North America. I have no doubt Paul and Andrew will take the business forward strongly as the disruption caused by the pandemic subsides and markets normalize," Stier said.

Earlier this year, Equiniti announced the appointment of Paul Lynam as the new Chief Executive Officer. "I should like to thank John for his unwavering commitment over his time with the Company, and particularly his support over the last twelve months. We wish him every success as he starts this new phase in his life," Lynam added in the press release.
