Scottish agritech firm Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) has appointed Sarah Willis as its first chief financial officer, to help with global expansion plans.
She joins from being head of finance operations at Spirit Energy. Prior to that, she worked in senior management overseeing operational and financial performance at Centrica E&P in the UK and Europe.
Willis is a chartered accountant, who started her career with KPMG and latterly Deloitte in Aberdeen, before joining Wood.
She will be responsible for ensuring operational support, corporate governance and reporting structures are fit for purpose, as the company looks to expand its operating base during the next 12 months.
Willis will be responsible for the Edinburgh-based company’s financial management, HR, admin support and new office development, working closely with chief executive David Farquhar and the board.
She said: “The opportunity to be part of a business like IGS is really exciting – the combination of the talented team, the incredibly innovative technology and the prodigious industry growth was compelling for me.”
