John Hanafin, CEO of Arton Capital, writes in this month’s company newsletter that he will be leaving his post.
“I have been offered an opportunity of a lifetime to work with a number of entities under one of the ruling families of the UAE, which I simply cannot ignore,” wrote Hanafin.
Replacing Hanafin as the top executive effective today is newly appointed Chief Operating Officer, Lora Georgieva, a native Bulgarian and eight-year veteran of Arton Capital. Investment Migration Insider has so far been unable to ascertain whether Gerogieva’s place at the helm is permanent or a provisional solution until a new CEO is hired.
