(Sharecast News) - Mid-market professional services provider DSW Capital promoted its chief financial officer, Nicole Burstow, to deputy chief executive officer on Wednesday.

The AIM-traded firm said Burstow had been an integral team member for the last four years, providing stalwart financial leadership and playing a role in steering the company's strategy, overseeing recruitment, enhancing licensee engagement, and streamlining operations.

It said her close collaboration with CEO James Dow on several front-line company initiatives had been influential in guiding the organisation toward its objectives.

While embracing her new role as deputy CEO, Burstow would concurrently sustain her obligations as CFO, continuing to oversee the financial management and strategy of DSW Capital.

"It gives me great pleasure to announce Nicole's official appointment as deputy CEO," said chief executive officer James Dow.

"We are extremely fortunate to have such a capable and committed executive, she is well respected by all our stakeholders, and this appointment reflects that her contribution to the group has extended far beyond her role as CFO for quite some time."
