Under scrutiny Sequoia Financial Group has appointed former Iress Chief Innovation Officer, David Hentschke to its board.

Sequoia, which last week announced the resignation of its chair, Michael Ryan, said Hentschke would be joining as an independent non-executive commencing on or before 15 June – the departure date of Ryan.

Hentschke is regarded as a veteran in the financial services technology and infrastructure sector with Sequoia noting his background as including role as Chair of PointData, Chief Innovation Officer at Iress, Chief Executive of Credit Clear Limited and Group Executive, Strategy and Corporate Development at PEXA.

“The Board believes Mr Hentschke’s combination of technology, financial services, governance and strategic transformation experience will be highly valuable as Sequoia continues to strengthen its operating platforms, expand its technology capabilities and pursue its broader growth initiatives,” the announcement said.

It said that as part of its ongoing board renewal process, the firms expects to announce a further non-executive director appointment in the near term.
