A French citizen, Stead joined Nutmeg in 2015 and became its CEO a year after in May 2016.
On his departure, Stead said: “Nutmeg’s mission is as important today as it was when I joined in 2015.
“Being entrusted with the stewardship of Nutmeg and leading a world-class team of passionate Nutmeggers every day, has been the greatest privilege and responsibility of my life.”
Stead’s exit comes at a time when Nutmeg’s loss margins further increased.
