Sedulo appoints chief technology officer

Sedulo has announced the appointment of Rocco Volpe as the firm’s new chief technology officer, who joins from Kings Secure Technologies. 

Volpe is the latest high-profile addition to Sedulo after the appointments of national heads of audit, taxation, R&D and forensic accounting, who have joined over the last 12 months.

In his new role, he will oversee a period of “major” growth, as the group is looking to double in size across the next three years. Volpe is also tasked with building the strategy and development of a software-as-a-service product, which finds technology-based solutions to everyday business problems for clients.

The group confirmed annual growth of more than 25% for 2022, achieving annual revenue of £13.2m, with Sedulo growing significantly in 2023.

Paul Cheetham-Karcz, founder of Sedulo, said: “This is an important and exciting appointment for Sedulo and I am delighted to add Rocco to the team. As a group, Sedulo is always pushing to improve and find new innovations and solutions to benefit our clients and I believe Rocco will play an important part in this.

“Rocco joins with exciting ideas and objectives which will propel Sedulo forwards and ensure we have first-class technology platforms available to continuously modernise and refine the way we work as a group and alongside our clients.”

Volpe added: “I am so excited to join Sedulo because there is a lot of progress we can make together. The development of a software platform for the finance sector genuinely excites me.

“After speaking to Paul and other areas of management, I believe there is a lot we can do here. It feels a ripe time to join the group and offer new services to continue the growth and improvement of Sedulo.”

Volpe will work across the four Sedulo offices in London, Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds.
