  • FNZ strengthens its executive committee as part of its ongoing investment in driving sustainable growth.

  • Tom Chard, Group Head of Growth, will lead FNZ’s global growth agenda, aligning regional strategies and capabilities to accelerate innovation and deliver long-term value.

FNZ, the leading global wealth management platform, has announced two executive committee appointments as part of its continued investment in sustainable growth and long-term client success.

Cornelia Coman will join FNZ as Group Head of Europe, based in London and reporting to Roman Regelman. She brings more than 20 years of experience in financial services, having held senior executive roles at ING Bank and NN Group. Cornelia has successfully led digital transformations, executed M&A strategies, and built high-performing teams across multiple key European markets — expertise that will be instrumental as FNZ continues to grow in this dynamic and diverse region.

Tom Chard has been appointed as Group Head of Growth, a newly created global role designed to support and accelerate FNZ’s next phase of expansion. Tom will be responsible for driving growth across all regions and business lines, with oversight of global sales, commercial management, and client solutions working jointly with the regional leaders. He will continue to report directly to Roman Regelman and remain a member of the group Executive Committee.

Tom joined FNZ in 2018 and has played a pivotal role in delivering complex, multi-regional projects and securing long-term strategic partnerships with some of the company’s largest clients. Most recently, he served as Group Head of North America, where he successfully led FNZ’s market entry and growth strategy since 2021. FNZ remains deeply committed to the North American market and continues to invest in long-term partnerships and innovation in the region.

Roman Regelman, Group President at FNZ, commented: "These appointments reflect our commitment to delivering sustainable value to clients and investing in world-class leadership. Cornelia and Tom bring exceptional expertise and track records in driving growth, strengthening client partnerships, and leading transformational change."

Cornelia Coman, Group Head of Europe, said: "I’m excited to join FNZ and contribute to its next phase of growth. Europe is a critical region for the business, and I’m looking forward to building on our strong client relationships and market-leading platform."

Tom Chard, Group Head of Growth, added: "This is a pivotal time for FNZ. I’m looking forward to working with our global teams to drive growth, strengthen our value proposition, and create meaningful, lasting impact for our clients."

These appointments reflect FNZ’s continued focus on strengthening its leadership team to support its mission of transforming the wealth management industry through innovation and global collaboration.
