MindGym has appointed Emily Fyffe as its new chief financial officer (CFO), replacing Dominic Neary, who is stepping down from the role later this year.

Fyffe joined MindGym in 2016 and has held a number of senior finance roles in the company, including financial controller and most recently, group finance director.

The firm said that she has "strong finance credentials, a track record of delivery and a thorough understanding of the business". She has over 10 years’ experience in finance and is qualified as a chartered accountant at Grant Thornton, Australia, in 2013.

Neary will step down from the role on 25 October ahead of becoming the new CFO at Naked Wines. In the meantime, Fyffe will take part in the handover of CFO responsibilities at MindGym.

She will begin the role shortly after the firm’s H1 trading update for the six months to 30 September, which is expected to be issued on 22 October.

At this time, she will not be appointed as a director or join the board of the company.

Chief executive at MindGym, Christopher Ellehuus, said: "We are delighted to appoint Emily Fyffe as CFO Designate. She has provided critical support to me in the development of MindGym's new strategy to deliver profitable, sustainable growth and I Iook forward to working closely with her in its ongoing implementation.

"We are grateful to Neary for his significant contribution to MindGym over the last three years, his hard work and dedication and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours."

Neary added: "I am very happy to be handing over to Emily, for whose unstinting support and hard work I am extremely grateful. With MindGym having entered the current financial year in a more resilient financial and operating position, I have no doubt that under Christoffer and Emily's leadership the business will prosper."
