Scottish Financial Enterprise (SFE) today announced the appointment of Scottish Government communications director Owen Kelly as its new chief executive.
Kelly will take up his new role on 14 January 2008 and in his new role
is expected to continue building closer relationships between the
financial services industry and politicians and other key influencers
in Holyrood, Westminster and Brussels.
SFE chairman John
Campbell said: “The Board are delighted to announce Owen’s appointment
as the new chief executive of Scottish Financial Enterprise. His
knowledge and understanding of the political systems in Edinburgh,
London and Brussels, and his close familiarity with how governments
work, will serve SFE very well in the years ahead.
"Promoting
understanding of the financial services industry in Scotland and its
priorities, domestically and internationally, is central to SFE's work
on behalf of its members."
Kelly said: “I am really pleased to
have this opportunity to work with one of Scotland's most successful
and dynamic industries. With its strong membership base, SFE has been
very successful in influencing and lobbying decision makers across
Europe in recent years.
"I hope that under my leadership we
can build on this in the years ahead. We must continue to promote the
industry’s strength in Scotland to the City of London and to
international audiences to ensure we are in a good position to
capitalise on opportunities when they arise."
