Rose’s appointment is just the start, Opteon will be recruiting more newly formed executive roles in the coming months.
Reporting to CEO Chris Knight, Rose will be part of the executive leadership team.

“What Rose will bring to the role is to work with the team to create significant scale in providing our clients with access to more data rich and cost-efficient valuation products and services,” Knight said.
“Opteon represented a great opportunity to be a pivotal part of a growing, ambitious and progressively led organisation looking for transformational change,” Rose said.
