By GlobalDataProctor will assume the new responsibility on 8 April 2019. The appointment is pending regulatory nod.
At Barclays, Proctor was the managing director with responsibility for leading the unsecured lending business in the UK.
In his 25-year long financial career, he also worked as executive general manager for the Commercial Bank of Qatar and CEO of Arbuthnot Latham.
Commenting on Proctor, 7IM chairman Ian Owen said: “We are confident that he will bring a valuable external perspective which, together with our experienced management team, will enable us to meet our clients’ expectations and to drive further growth in our business.”
The appointment comes shortly after 7IM’s announcement to reduce fees for its HNW clients and family groups.
Last October, 7IM appointed Martyn Surguy as its new CIO.
The firm has also been in the news last year for its acquisition of Tcam Asset Management, an Edinburgh-based discretionary asset manager.
