Gattaca appoints new Chief Financial Officer

Gattaca has appointed a new Chief Financial Officer, Salar Farzad, who officially joined the business on Monday 12th June.

Salar qualified as an ACA with PriceWaterhouseCoopers. He is a highly experienced financial professional, having worked for a number of large corporations and international businesses; most recently Zodiak Media, where he was Chief Financial Officer from 2014 to 2016. Prior to this Salar has held various senior financial roles at companies such as Macmillan Science and Education, 2Entertain, MTVNetworks International and EMI.

Given his experience we are sure Salar will be a great fit with our business. His international experience in particular will be a great benefit to us as we enter hyper-growth in many of our overseas markets.

Speaking about the opportunity he saw with Gattaca, Salar said:

"Gattaca has been on a terrific journey, has a great reputation as a big player in its niches and has even greater opportunities ahead of it. The consistent theme within that is Gattaca’s collaborative clan culture, where everyone pulls together to do what’s best for the group, and this was reinforced in all my interactions during the hiring process and with all of the people I’ve met since."

"I’m excited to play my part in Gattaca’s great journey and look forward to working alongside the Finance team to help accelerate the growth of the business through insightful analysis which will drive business decisions."
