Fuller said: “I’m very excited by the opportunity to continue to work with everyone in the firm, and our clients, to take forward the firm’s strategic direction. The firm is in a terrific position, and I plan to lead a team that is restless and relentless about achieving our next goals. I am humbled by the confidence placed in me by my partners to lead the firm over the next period.” Milliner, who has been CEP for seven years, said: “The firm has a clear strategy for its future growth and I am confident that, under Stuart’s leadership, the firm will continue the significant momentum that we have within the firm.” |
