International consultancy and construction company, Mace<\/a> has appointed Richard Beinfait as its new group chief finance officer<\/h2>\n

Richard Beinfait joins Mace from UPP Ltd, where he was chief executive of the on-campus residential and academic accommodation infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Before UPP, Beinfait held a number of senior executive roles in the infrastructure sector<\/a>. Between 2010 and 2015 he was CEO of Affinity Water, and between 2004 and 2009 he was CFO of Veolia Water in the UK.<\/p>\n

Richard Bienfait, CFO at Mace, said: \u201cI am very excited to work for Mace, a business I have known well as a key supplier for the last 14 years. It\u2019s always been important to me that I work with businesses that have a great and clear purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cMace is a formidable force in developing sustainable communities. Mace has the aptitude, but most importantly the people, to contribute so much to society and to drive transformational change through the sector and I am delighted to be part of this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mace restructures leadership team<\/h3>\n

Mace has recently restructured its leadership team, appointing a chief executive officer across the company\u2019s four \u2018Engines for Growth\u2019: Develop, Consult, Construct and Operate.<\/p>\n

Mace\u2019s divisions will have greater influence and control over their strategies, within the framework created by the group board, and Richard will lead the group overall financial strategy.<\/p>\n

In February, Mace promoted Jason Millett<\/a> to chief executive position, Davendra Dabasia as managing director for international, and Daniel Easthope as managing director for property UK and Europe.<\/p>\n

The two strands of Mace\u2019s consultancy business \u2013 property and infrastructure \u2013 were brought together under a single leadership team for the first time.<\/p>\n

The wider changes to Mace\u2019s group board structure give the leadership team full accountability and control of the strategic direction of the business.<\/p>\n

A number of other new promotions and appointments have been made to Mace\u2019s sector-specific consultancy teams and a new team of service-line leads has been created.<\/p>\n
