Abrdn’s CFO Jason Windsor is set to replace Stephen Bird as CEO
Jason Windsor, Abrdn’s chief financial officer, will replace Stephen Bird as CEO.
Windsor had been interim chief executive since Bird stepped down in May after four tumultuous years at the helm, during which he oversaw a controversial rebranding that saw the company change its name from Standard Life Aberdeen to the vowel-less ‘abrdn’ in 2021.
Investors are hoping Windsor can bounce back after profits fell as customers withdrew their money, ahead of its half-year results being released today.
Abdrn said yesterday: ‘No decision has been made yet on the appointment of a new CEO. When a decision is made by the board, we will inform the market.’
Before Abrdn, Windsor was CFO at housebuilder Persimmon.
The shares fell 2.3 percent, or 3.7p, to 160.5p.
