JT has appointed Hannah Mitchell as its new Chief Financial Officer, following a recruitment process involving both internal and external candidates.
Hannah (pictured) joined JT in March 2023 as Head of Finance and most recently served as Interim Chief Financial Officer. In her new role, she will be a member of JT’s Executive Committee, with responsibility for the Group’s finance, procurement and legal functions.
Since joining JT, Hannah has played a key role in transforming the Group’s finance function and has been closely involved in major strategic activity, including JT’s acquisition of Manx Telecom and the associated financing.
Before joining JT, Hannah spent seven years at Ogier, progressing through senior finance positions including Group Financial Controller and Head of Financial Governance and Tax. Prior to that, she held a number of roles at Jersey Post, including Acting Finance Director and Head of Commercial Finance, having begun her career at Ernst & Young LLP.
Andrew McGrath, Chief Executive Officer of JT, said: “Hannah’s appointment is thoroughly deserved and reflects both the strength of her experience and the contribution she has already made to JT. She brings strong financial and commercial expertise alongside a deep understanding of our business, our people and the opportunities ahead of us. Just as importantly, Hannah’s progression from Head of Finance to CFO is a great example of the talent we have within JT and our commitment to giving people opportunities to develop and build meaningful careers here.
I’m delighted to welcome Hannah to the role and look forward to working closely with her as we continue to deliver JT’s ambitions for the future.”
Hannah Mitchell said: “I’m incredibly proud to be taking on the role of Chief Financial Officer at such an important point in JT’s development. Having spent the past few years working alongside talented colleagues across the business, I know first-hand the capability and ambition that exists within JT.
“One of the things I value most about JT is the opportunity people have to grow, take on new challenges and develop their careers. I’m very grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given, and I want to make sure we continue creating those opportunities for others.
“There is a great deal to look forward to, and I’m excited to work with Andrew, the Executive Committee and colleagues across JT as we build on the strong foundations already in place and deliver the next phase of our strategy.”
