Rightmove appoints internal candidate as new CFO

(Sharecast News) - Property portal Rightmove has announced that it is recruiting an internal replacement for its outgoing chief financial officer. Alison Dolan, who announced in May she was jumping ship to join Marks & Spencer, will be succeeded by Ruaridh Hook, currently head of commercial finance and financial planning and analysis.

Hook, a chartered accountant who has been in his current role since 2020, joined Rightmove back in 2016, having previously worked at EY for five years.

Rightmove's chief executive Johan Svanstrom said he was "delighted" by the appointment of Hook, who will join the board as an executive director in September.

"Ruaridh has tremendous knowledge of our business, commercial model and the market, and of course is already well known to so many team members across our organisation and outside it," Svanstrom said. "He has worked closely alongside Alison and me in recent years, and was instrumental in developing our strategy, which we outlined last year."
