Finance Wales
Non-Executive Director & Audit Chair
Finance Wales provides growth capital for micro to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in the UK and financial administration services to the Welsh Government. Led by Chair Gareth Bullock (Non-Executive Director / Senior Advisor at organisations including Informa PLC, Tesco Bank and the Good Governance Group (G3), as well as former Board Member of Standard Chartered PLC), Finance Wales wished to appoint a Non-Executive Director with private equity experience and later posted a second role for an Audit Chair.
Through Nurole they appointed Roger Jeynes as NED and Iraj Amiri as Audit Chair. Roger Jeynes brought 16 years’ experience as a Non-Executive Director in VC/PE, is a Non-Executive Director of LSE-listed Venture Capital Trust (Downing Three VCT plc), Chairman of AIM-listed Zoo Digital plc, and Chairman of mobile application software developer mxData Limited. Iraj Amiri spent over a decade heading up FTSE 100 Schroders PLC’s internal audit department, was previously Head of the Wellcome Trust’s internal audit team and is now a Trustee and Chair of the Audit Committee at Nest.
