The other appointment, Garrett Curran, is an adviser and investor specialising in financial services, technology and real estate. He is managing director of Equilibria Capital Management in Madrid, and sits on a number of boards, including that of Santander UK as a non-executive director.

Curran spent more than 20 years in investment banking in a variety of positions in London and New York, most recently at Credit Suisse as chief executive officer of the UK business and chief client officer in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. He also managed and supervised its global markets EMEA client business.

David Brown, chairman of Argus, said the appointments’ “respective backgrounds will enable them both to play key roles in moving these strategies forward.”
