Brendan McManus is shifting roles at PIB Group after 11 years, moving from Group CEO into a new role as Chairman of the Board. The search for his successor is underway, led by the Board.
Over the past decade, PIB Group has grown into a business operating across 12 countries, built primarily through acquisition. This next phase marks a deliberate shift towards organic, sustained growth, built on the strength of the businesses already brought together.
During the CEO search, an Office of the CEO, chaired by Chief People Officer Jo Payne and including Rob Houghton (COO), Alastair Hay (CFO), Carl McMillan (General Counsel) and Ryan Brown (in a newly created Chief Growth Officer role) will lead the business day to day.
Brendan McManus said: "PIB Group is in a strong position to succeed in today's market and I am proud of what we have built together over the past decade. This feels like the right moment for the business and for me personally to bring in fresh leadership for the next chapter. I will remain close to the business in my new role, and I'm looking forward to our next chapter."
