TMF Group has appointed Christoph Hobo as its new chief financial officer (CFO), effective 1 July 2026, succeeding Patrick de Graaf, who is retiring after seven years in the role.

Hobo joins the global compliance and administrative services provider with more than two decades of international leadership experience across private equity-backed and listed companies. His background includes senior finance roles at think-cell, Marelli and JOST Werke, with expertise in finance transformation, mergers and acquisitions, and operational growth.

Announcing the appointment, TMF Group CEO, Mark Weil, said Hobo brings "deep experience as a CFO in international, high-performance businesses" and a proven ability to combine "financial discipline with operational execution" as the company continues its growth strategy.

Weil also paid tribute to outgoing CFO Patrick de Graaf, noting that during his tenure TMF Group had doubled in size and self-financed around 40 acquisitions.

“I am delighted to be joining TMF Group at such an exciting point in its development. TMF Group has built a distinctive global platform and an important role in helping clients invest and operate safely around the world," said Hobo. "I look forward to working with Mark and the wider team to support the next phase of growth and value creation through financial discipline, operational excellence and continued investment in the capabilities that matter most to our clients.”

TMF Group provides compliance and administrative services to multinational corporations, financial institutions and asset managers, including many companies within the Fortune Global 500 and FTSE 100.
