Elite hires a former BT veteran as its new chief financial officer

Elite has officially announced the appointment of Emma Blackburn as the new CFO and will work with CFO Rob Beach.

Blackburn took office in September and joined Manchester-based cloud service provider M247. She has been CFO since December 2018.

Prior to that, she worked at BT for 10 years and held various business and financial positions.

Robsims, chief executive of Elite, said of Blackburn's appointment: "Emma has extensive experience in managing major business transformations. We are pleased that she has joined us. So because Elite has established an one-stop shop to meet all customers'IT and communications needs, we can benefit from this experience and help us transform."

Blackburn added: "it's great to be part of a dynamic, fast-growing company. After a few months of work, you can use your team-building experience to further strengthen the financial function of Elite. Rob Beach worked with the CFO to help develop the business aspect of his business and to support his activities in mergers and acquisitions, which also proved to be very useful."
