LONDON - Walker Crips Group plc (LSE:WCG) announced Wednesday a strategic reorganization of its board and executive leadership team, implementing a new joint CEO model to support the company’s growth objectives.
The investment management firm has appointed Christian Dougal, currently Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, as Joint CEO responsible for administrative functions including finance, HR, risk and compliance, and IT support. Dougal, who joined Walker Crips in July 2024, will serve as an Executive Director on the company’s board.
Sean Lam, the current CEO, will transition to Joint CEO and continue overseeing commercial operations while maintaining his role as CEO of Walker Crips Investment Management.

"These changes mark a critical step in building a leadership platform that reflects the scale and ambition of our strategy," Welman said in the press release statement.
