Dyson Group plc has appointed Christopher Kinsella as group finance director with effect from 1 September 2008.
Kinsella was appointed to the board as non-executive director on 1 October 2007, and has been heavily involved in the financial management of the business since the departure of Nick Parker on 31 March 2008. He will continue in this role at Dyson (LSE:DYS) until he becomes an executive director on 1 September. In addition to his duties as finance director, Kinsella will assume responsibility for IT and associated systems, as well as playing an active role in the development and implementation of the group's new strategy. Kinsella, 52, has held an executive role at TI, the engineering company, since 1997 - first as divisional finance director of the automotive businesses at TI plc and latterly, following its demerger in 2001, as chief financial officer and main board director of TI Automotive. TI Automotive has annual sales of £1.5 billion in 28 countries and approximately 50 per cent of the 57 million cars built annually worldwide rely on its brake, fuel and/or power train technology. From 1995 to 1997, Kinsella was financial and commercial director for the products business division of APV plc and, from 1990 to 1995, he was a divisional finance director at Meggitt plc. His early career was spent in GEC plc and GE (USA). Related articles Related links |
