Hawksmoor appoints new Chief Executive

Hawksmoor Investment Management has announced that Sarah Soar will join the Company as Chief Executive Officer, once her current contractual requirements permit and subject to regulatory approval. Following a transition period once Sarah Soar joins, John Crowley, Hawksmoor’s Founder, principal shareholder and Chief Executive since the Company’s launch in 2008, will step down from his executive responsibilities. John will continue as a director of the Company.

Hawksmoor’s Chairman, James Brent, said “I congratulate and thank John for what he and his colleagues have achieved at Hawksmoor in the last eleven years. He has built a successful, sustainable and scalable business, completely focussed on the best outcomes for our discretionary clients and the investors in our Funds. We are delighted that such a well-known industry figure as Sarah will be joining us to build on John’s work since he founded the Company in 2008.”

Hawksmoor’s CEO, John Crowley, said “As the Company looks forward to the next stage of its development, I am the first to recognise that we need someone with a different background and range of experience to lead the Company forward to achieve our ambitious goals. Our core values, in summary, continue to be to maintain excellent performance with relatively low volatility across all of the Company’s investment mandates, and to provide the highest quality of service to our clients and introducers. My colleagues and I are confident that Sarah shares our values and our ambition, and I am delighted to be handing the CEO reins over to her.”
