G4S has announced Michael Leahey as its new Chief Financial Officer. Leahey transitions from Allied Universal, G4S's parent company, where he held the position of vice president of corporate finance. He will report directly to Tim Brandt and Ashley Almanza of the executive leadership team.

Leahey's previous role at Allied Universal involved significant responsibilities, including global financial planning, strategic decision-making backed by investment plans, and capital market strategy. His career encompasses roles in investment banking and private equity, backed by his academic background in finance from the University of San Diego.

Tim Brandt highlighted Leahey's impressive work ethic and leadership skills, while Ashley Almanza emphasized his understanding of G4S's operations. Leahey's appointment follows Chris Simpson's interim tenure as CFO, with Simpson returning to his role as International Group Controller.
