We’re super excited to welcome Liz Bell as our Head of People. Liz takes over from Jen Speirs who has been promoted to VP Operations.
Liz has an impressive career journey under her belt - as Director of People at health-tech unicorn Benevolent AI, she led the ten-strong People & Talent team and supported a business that grew from 150 to over 400 employees.
Her scale-up journey at Benevolent AI saw them IPO via a SPAC, building a function that focused on a people-first approach to enable high-quality work.
This announcement follows a number of senior hires, one of the latest being Max Frumes as our Global Head of Distressed & Restructuring, as 9fin continues to grow and invest in its leadership team.
“Liz possesses a rare and invaluable talent, seamlessly balancing people-centricity with a keen commercial mindset. In just a short time she has proven to be one of the best 'People people' I've worked with in my career. I'm excited to see what she has planned to continue to scale People & Talent at 9fin.”
