SuiteBox appoints new CEO

SuiteBox, the New Zealand-based mobile office solution for the financial services industry, has appointed Ian Dunbar as its new CEO.

Dunbar, previously the SuiteBox country manager for Australia, takes over as CEO from co-founder Richard Mannell who will remain with SuiteBox in a newly created COO role to focus on governance and operations.

Dunbar has 15 years' experience as a financial services executive in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia with global banks JPMorgan and UBS. Most recently he built and ran the investment platform business for UBS.

Commenting on his and Mannell's new roles, Dunbar said: "The changes reflect the positioning of SuiteBox as a global provider of solutions to the financial services industry. The majority of SuiteBox's growth has come from Australia, and the business priority for 2016 is to rapidly expand in Australia and take the SuiteBox solution to new markets."
