Intelligent Energy appoints John Maguire as Chief Financial Officer
21.05.12
Maguire joins from Etisalat Nigeria, one of four national mobile
operators in the country, where his responsibilities included the
negotiation and delivery of a national 3G licence. He was previously CFO
at THUS Group plc, and worked in a number of senior positions, including
as Vice President Japan and Asia, at Cable and Wireless before its
acquisition of THUS. He takes over from Rian Urding, who will
concentrate on his role as Chief Financial Officer at Emerald
Automotive, a US based low carbon fleet vehicle provider co-founded by
Intelligent Energy.
“Clean, low carbon technologies have a vital part to play in reducing
our environmental impact and I am keen to be a part of that process,”
explained Maguire. “Intelligent Energy is clearly a successful and
rapidly expanding business - a new joint venture company formed with the
Suzuki Motor Corporation was announced just last week - so I look
forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.” As Chief
Financial Officer at Intelligent Energy, Maguire will assist the Board
and Chief Executive Officer in strategic planning, financial management,
cost benefit analysis and the acquisition of new funding.
