Fintech and financial services group Rostro announced a series of senior appointments and organisational changes on Thursday, which the group said are aimed at accelerating its next phase of expansion and reinforcing its ambitions to become the “investment bank of the future.”
As part of its next growth chapter, Rostro has launched a new People & Organisation Development Division, designed to strengthen internal capability, align culture with performance, and enhance the connection between its employee and customer value propositions.
Kate Mason-Keaney joins the Group as Chief People & Organisation Officer, bringing extensive international experience in organisational transformation and leadership development.
Claire Thorpe has been appointed Organisation Development Director, following senior roles across global corporates in HR and talent strategy. Together, they will build out Rostro’s people and culture agenda to support long-term, sustainable growth across the Group.
“Rostro is building something truly extraordinary,” said Mason-Keaney. “This role represents the opportunity to create a system where individual growth and organisational success are genuinely interconnected. It’s an exciting time to be part of the journey.”
The Group also confirmed that Pavel Spirin has taken on the role of Group Chief Growth Officer on a full-time basis, extending his success in driving business expansion at Scope Markets to Rostro’s broader ecosystem.
“Financial markets are cyclical, but Rostro’s strength lies in its structure,” said Michael Ayres, Group CEO and Partner at Rostro. “We’ve built a business designed to evolve with the market — not be defined by it. The appointment of Kate, Claire, and the expanded role for Pavel reinforce our commitment to investing in people and culture, both of which are central to achieving our 2030 growth vision.”
