Gersh is replacing Andrew Baddeley, who served as group CFO since 2018 and became chief financial officer of S&W, Evelyn Partners’ former professional services business, following the completion of its sale last month, as reported here.

Gersh, a CFO, has more than 30 years’ experience and technical expertise in financial management. His diverse career spans senior leadership positions at both private equity backed and public companies across the UK and the US. Most recently, he was CFO of the New York Stock Exchange-listed global payments business Paysafe, in which CVC and Blackstone were major shareholders. Prior to that, Alex was CFO at Sportradar, the online sports betting provider Betfair through its merger with Paddy Power. Following that, he became the CFO of the combined group, Paddy Power Betfair (now Flutter), which is a former constituent of the UK’s FTSE 100 Index.

“Alex is a highly accomplished CFO who will be a fantastic addition to the leadership team at Evelyn Partners,” Paul Geddes, CEO of Evelyn Partners, said. “He joins us at a pivotal time for the business, which has recently undergone a significant strategic transformation to refocus the firm solely on wealth management where we see excellent growth opportunities.”
