Jamie brings leading digital product expertise to the Board, having worked since 2013 for Google, where he has held roles defining new platforms and ecosystems, including as Head of Digital Platform Experiences and Head of Extended Reality (XR) Platform Enablement. Prior to joining Google, Jamie founded and led Glasses Direct, a digital-led retail business, before taking it through a private equity transaction with Cipio Partners.

Helen Stevenson, Chair, said: "I am delighted to be welcoming Carolyn and Jamie to the Board of RM. Both are accomplished business leaders who bring valuable and relevant current tech insight, complementing the existing strengths of the board which already has considerable depth in technology, finance, capital markets and transformation experience. The skills they bring to the table will be key for RM's platform and growth strategy.

"I would also like to thank Vicky, Patrick and Charles for their valuable contributions to the Company during their time at RM. On behalf of the Board, I wish them all the best for the future."
