Welcome to the seventh issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. Every
month we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates from
all corners of the business world.

This month we have chosen to spotlight the leaders of the
finance industry as they look to adapt and overcome an increasingly challenging
market. Whether it is through providing bridging loans, consultancy services,
or through next-generation cross-border payment solutions, this issue’s
inclusions have sought – in every way – to go above and beyond.

Earlier this year we recognised the deVere Group’s CEO,
Nigel Green, as the Most Influential CEO of the Year. As one of the world’s
largest independent financial consultancies, the deVere Group has nurtured an
impressive reputation in one of the most competitive sectors on the financial
landscape. Following Nigel’s success, we endeavoured to take a closer look at
the company he founded.

Elsewhere, we speak to Elysium Bridging’s CEO, Paul Gammond,
on the back of the firm’s recent success in the 2019 Financial Leaders
programme. As a short-term residential bridging lender, they provide a vital
service on the UK market and have grown organically through an innovation-first
ethos.

All of the team here at CEO Monthly hope you enjoy this
month’s issue and look forward to hearing from you soon.
