RWS Holdings PLC on Tuesday named Candida Davies as its new chief financial officer with effect from October 1.

She will also join the board and the executive team, the technology-enabled language services provider said.

Most recently, Davies was head of finance for the Personal Health division of Amsterdam-based clinical technology company Royal Philips NV.

Davies will succeed Rod Day, who will continue as interim CFO and complete a thorough handover before leaving RWS by the end of 2022. He was appointed to the interim role in April to replace Des Glass as CFO.

Chief Executive Ian El-Mokadem said: ‘I am delighted that we have appointed Candida as chief financial officer. Her international, blue-chip and health sector experience combined with her expertise across finance, strategy and innovation will be invaluable to the board and the executive team, as we continue to focus on delivering our accelerated growth plan.’

Shares in RWS were down 0.3% at 332.80 pence each in London on Tuesday morning.
