Lifestyle Article - Criterion appoint Andrew Cole from Fidelity


Criterion has appointed Andrew Cole, Global Head of Distribution Operations at Fidelity International to the board as its fifth non-executive director. Andrew brings extensive experience and industry representation from the platform markets to the Criterion Board, as it looks to broaden its impact and drive the collaborative work necessary to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving industry.

 Criterion's Chairman Iain Duffin says: “I am delighted with Andrew’s appointment to the Criterion Board, his experience across the platform markets truly supports our aim in increasing the reach of Criterion’s capabilities. As Andrew is also an integral member of the TeX Board, I am delighted that he has agreed to take on this additional Non-Executive Director role, and this can only further support Criterion to help develop a closer working relationship with TeX.”

 Andrew brings with him more than 18 years’ experience working in the Financial Services Industry having held a number of senior positions in Deloitte, Investec Bank, JP Morgan, Close Brothers, Barclays and Fidelity. Prior to joining Fidelity, his most recently held positions included Managing Director of Close Fund Services Ltd and Global Head of Wealth Services at Barclays. He joined Fidelity in 2014 as Head of Platform Shared Services and Change where his primary responsibility was the execution of Fidelity’s multi-year strategic programme. Andrew has since moved into Fidelity’s Global Business Operations where he is now responsible for a wide range of operational functions across the business globally. He is also a Non-Executive director of TeX, a not-for-profit organisation focused on setting standards and governance for transfers and re-registrations in the industry.

 Andrew says: “Similar to TeX, Criterion plays a significant role in driving improvements to the standards and governance of transaction and data exchanges between industry participants, leading to a better client experience. I look forward to making a meaningful contribution to its mission and enhancing the working relationship between TeX and Criterion, something I am passionate about.”

 Caroline Mansley, Managing Director of Criterion, adds: “Andrew brings great energy and focus on change that really simplifies the customer experience, something I am also very passionate about doing. Criterion is totally committed to remove complexity from the industry, having his experience will really assist how we do prioritise and increase our existing capability to achieve this.”
