Discretionary fund manager Ebi has announced a series of senior appointments to its board and executive leadership team.
Paul McMahon has been appointed independent non-executive chairman of the board, bringing significant industry experience to the role.
Ebi’s chief operating officer, Harry Hitchcock, has also joined the board. Hitchcock, who has been with the firm since 2019, has been instrumental in shaping and delivering its strategic direction.
In a further leadership move, Sue Smith has been named head of compliance. With more than 20 years of industry experience, Smith will be key to ensuring Ebi maintains robust regulatory standards and effective risk management.
The appointments come as Ebi celebrates a major milestone, surpassing £4bn in assets under management (AUM) as of June 2025, a 40% increase over the past year.
The firm credits this growth to its commitment to innovation, governance and consistently delivering strong outcomes for clients.
“These changes reflect our commitment to the highest standards of governance and client service,” said Craig Burgess, CEO and founder of Ebi.
“We’re delighted to welcome Paul, Sue and Harry into their new roles. Their experience and insight will help shape our corporate strategy and ensure we continue to deliver industry-leading products and services.
“This is a key step in our long-term growth agenda, helping us drive the business forward and create lasting value for clients and partners.”
Ebi said the leadership additions will further enhance its ability to scale responsibly while maintaining a sharp focus on client outcomes and regulatory excellence.
