I am looking forward to using my expertise in product management, software development and strategic development to support Konexo in offering a truly cutting edge and intelligent technology-driven service for our clients.”
Konexo launched in May 2019 through the merging of three well-established teams at Eversheds Sutherland – ES Consulting, Corporate Secretarial and Insolvency – into a new division. The appointment of Babar follows the recent appointment of Brett Aubin as Managing Director for Regulatory Response in September 2019, as part of a number of planned strategic hires as it further develops its market-leading proposition.
