Evelyn Partners names Susan Miller-Jones as new Chief People Officer

Evelyn Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Susan Miller-Jones as its new Chief People Officer, subject to regulatory approval.  Susan will join the business in early July. 
 
Susan is a seasoned HR professional with experience spanning multiple sectors. She joins Evelyn Partners from Royal Sun Alliance, where she served as UK Director of HR. Her previous experience includes senior HR roles at professional services firms KPMG UK and Brunswick, in the property sector as Global Head of HR at DTZ and in the banking sector with Barclays where she was Head of HR, Barclays Group Centre. 
 
Paul Geddes, Chief Executive Officer of Evelyn Partners, commented: 

“We are delighted that Susan is joining the Evelyn Partners leadership team at this significant stage in the development of the business, which is now focused solely on wealth management. Susan is a great hire for us – she’s a seasoned and successful HR professional, with multi sector experience and her energy and drive will be a real asset to the business. 

“I would like to thank Benne Peto who has served as our Chief People Officer for the last six years. Benne has seen us through a rapid period of growth and change, including the merger of Tilney and Smith & Williamson, numerous acquisitions, cultural integration programmes and, more recently, the separation and sale of our Professional Services business. Benne will leave the business in August after a handover to Susan with our thanks for her many years of service and best wishes for the future as she pursues a plural career.”
