Dominic Rose, CEO of MKC Wealth said: “We have exciting plans to build on our initial success and Dan’s appointment to the new position as CFO marks a very significant step in MKC Wealth’s future. He has an excellent track record in leading and developing financial strategy, particularly at larger wealth management companies.”
