MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TAREK ROBBIATI TO STEP DOWN LATER THIS YEAR
The Board of Directors of FlexiGroup (ASX: FXL) announced today that the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tarek Robbiati, has given notice of his resignation to return overseas and will step down in the second half of the calendar year.
Mr Robbiati joined FlexiGroup in January 2013 and has overseen a significant transformation and growth in the company.
FlexiGroup confirms it’s on track to meet its FY15 Cash NPAT Guidance of $90-91m.
"It’s been a pleasure to work with an outstanding team of people at Flexi over the past two and a half years. FlexiGroup is now well on track to lead the Digital Finance industry in Australia and New Zealand.” Mr. Robbiati said.
“During my tenure, I have been privileged to have worked with two great Chairmen, Margaret Jackson and Chris Beare and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. However, now that FlexiGroup’s transformation is well on track, it is time for me to leave. I believe FlexiGroup is extremely well positioned to deliver on its digital future.”
The Board will appoint a search firm to assist in the selection of the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and will consider internal and external candidates.
Chris Beare, Chairman of the Board said: “Tarek has done an excellent job in transforming FlexiGroup, putting it on a long term sustainable footing and ready for the Digital Finance future. Tarek will remain as CEO whilst we undertake a search for his replacement and to allow a smooth transition. I personally have enjoyed working with him, he is an extremely capable CEO, and I wish him well for his future.”
