(Alliance News) - Intertek Group PLC on Thursday said Colm Deasy will step down from the board and as chief financial officer to move to an operational role in Asia Pacific, promoting internally to replace him.
The London-based assurance, inspection, product testing and certification company said Deasy will become executive vice president for Asia Pacific, based in Vietnam, from April 10, and will cease to be an executive director and CFO on the same date.
Intertek said it promoted Laura Crespi to group CFO from April 10.
Crespi, currently regional CFO for Europe, Middle East and Africa, will join the board as an executive director and become a member of the group executive committee.
Intertek Chief Executive Officer Andre Lacroix said: "I am delighted with these two organisational changes. Colm has been with the group for over 9 years and in that time has been an excellent contributor in both operational and finance roles with a strong track record of delivering quality growth on a consistent basis for all our stakeholders."
Crespi joined Intertek in 2023, prior to which she was CFO for Global Nexis Solutions at business and professional information provider Relx PLC.
Intertek shares were 0.8% lower at 3,692.00 pence each on Thursday morning in London.
